Hi guys. We harvested our grapes too early last year and the wine is too acid. We didn't sulphite in the hope that the malo-lactic process would sort it, but it hasn't. My plan is to correct with Potassium Bicarbonate. Can I add sulphite at the same time please? The wine is now ten months old...
Thank you for those excellent, quick and succinct answers. I wasn't aware of CO2 protecting against oxidation, (without inhibiting MLF, presumably). That's extremely useful info.
Hi folks! I have a load of red wine nicely fermented out, but rather acidic so it needs its malolactic magic. If I rack it off the lees I'm concerned it will oxidise, but if I add sulphite it will upset the malolactic process. Is there an answer to this conflict please? Also, will malolactic...
