I have a few gallons of Gewurztraminer I need to finsh with and bottle by the 26th. Normally I would have until late January, and I intended to leave this to sit an extra month. Somehow everyone has a clear work schedule, so I need to move.
This wine needs to be sweetened- I have Riesling concentrate or sugar. I would suspect I need to target 1.003 or 1.005. Most local Traminette the recipient likes have been about there, or sweeter, if I could find them. Reisling about the same. I also have FT Blanc Soft I can add. The wine has dropped mostly clear, racked off the gross lees, added kmeta and lysozyme, racked off those lees.
My question is what order do I do sweetening and tannins and either dual-fine or filtering? I have always abandoned my own wines for months, and haven't really sweetened.
