Hello all,
A few weeks ago I posted a question about my Pinot Grigio being pink in color. Well I just racked the wine today for the first time and the PG is still pink and cloudy. It looks somewhat like pink lemonade and pink grapefruit juice??? I tasted a little and it is not awful, however, I wouldn’t expect much in the way of good taste yet.
I used 6 gallons of Pinot Grigio juice from California. I brought the juice and it was refrigerated. I let the juice warm up in my basement a couple of days. I pitched a good active yeast culture and when I pitched yeast I noticed the juice was pink then. I posted the question on this web site back then, however didn’t get any explanation as to what might have happened.
Do you suppose that there is a bacterial fermentation or oxidation or something else perhaps? Has this happened to anyone else? Any help is appreciated.
