Quick question regarding bulk aging. I have a WE international cab sauv, and a WE selection sauv blanc on the go. They are both "ready to be bottled", but I'd like to bulk age a bit beforehand. As per the directions, I've racked off to a second Carboy once already, but do have some sediment in the bottom of each wine (think I transferred some from the first racking - although each batch took about 3/4 of a wine bottle to top up).
My question is, is it ok to have sediment at the bottom during the bulk aging process, or should I rack each a third time? I don't plan to bulk age for any longer than a month or two, and will finish aging in the bottle.
Any advice is appreciate. Thanks!
