So i have a VR Gewurztraminer that i have been letting age in a carboy for about a week now, and plan to bulk age until the end of the month before bottling. The sediment has nicely gathered at the bottom of the carboy, and per a suggestion i received i tilted the carboy.
My question has to do with the sediment. I noticed that some of it has accumulated on the side of the carboy that is angled, and i was wondering if this will mix back into the wine as i go to bottle.
Also...when you go to bottle a wine from the carboy, should you rack the wine off of the sediment and then bottle, or filter it into another carboy and then bottle? Im trying to make it as painless as possible, but i still want the wine to come out tasting good.
Thanks
