Hope your deck isn't stained purple by now. Unless you kept your operation indoors.
I'm curious what you thought of the local grapes compared to the Pia. The more I research Pia the less I'm inclined to purchase again. In the picture they at least look very very healthy and fresh (im assuming that pic is just hours after picking, not days or weeks in a warehouse before a road trip like non local)
Maybe you or someone else could answer this for me - what is the point of using 71B if you are going to MLF the wine anyway?
Nice looking grapes! Hope to harvest my own Foch grapes this week (Vancouver Island home grown) Those are really good numbers and you should end up with a great wine.
I've used 71B on Foch grapes with similar numbers in the past. Combined with MLF after it produced an excellent wine. Soft, not tannic and not too acidic.
Thank you, thats good to hear. I got the 71b idea from one of the estate winery winemakers here, ive tryed there foch and its great. Promotes mlf and reduces the high acids we see here in our grapes up north.
