Hello all -
I have some cab franc from grapes that is going through malolactic fermentation right now. I know the rule is not to add potassium sorbate to the wine since it might result in a rotten geranium smell. I would like to blend some of the cab franc when the malo is complete. The only cabernet sauvignon I have is from a winexpert kit which uses both meta and sorbate in the final step before clearing. Will blending my cab franc with a cab wine that had sorbate added also produce the off odors?
