what was the Malolactic fermentationfor though and what is the alcohol content? Is that a 5 or 6 gallon carboy? Where did ya get your "Scongs"?
 
Got the scuppies at Bethesda, AR, on a steep hillside.


MLF was for lowering the malic acidity and it did wonders.
 
It is a Chardonnay style Scuppernong. Probably the first of it's kind. I had a glass of the 'bottom of the barrel' after I turned the filter pump off. I just turned the carboy up and poured the last bit of kinda cloudy wine in it into a wineglass. It was very good, so I can only imagine how good the clear wine is.A little vanilla-ish with nice smoky undertone. A tad light body, but very close to what I wanted. Just right tartness, off-dry, slightly sweeter than a California chardonnay.
 
Sounds great Hippie,,maybe a sampling wii accompany you the get together at Georges next year
