Ok, this is my second batch of white wine and I am really worried about the color. It is a Reserve Du Chateau Oriveto style. I have it in the 4th day of clearing and the color seems to have gotten darker since adding the fining agent and Super Kleer. It was dark to start with, but this color is not at appetizing. It truly looks like a urine sample.
I'm wondering if this is going to change and lighten up. Anyone experienced this before? Is there any hope of lightening it up to make it more palatable?
I made 2 tweaks to the kit. I added 3T dried elderberry flowers and 1 lb of white raisins when racking to the secondary. SG 1.02.
This is what it look like before adding the fining chems 4 days ago.
