Well, this is a learning year and we shall see if my mistake is a learning moment, or if the wine turns out OK.
Sunday 9/4 I checked the Brix and it was at 22.. being slightly.. OK REALLY impatient I forgot to recheck all my Notes and thought TIME TO HARVEST!!!!
Only after I had already Harvested 3 of the 4 Vines did I remember one note, which was that the stems should be brown before harvesting.. Mine were still mainly green.
Here are the grapes before harvest:
And the after Crushing "mess":
9/5... after letting the must "rest" for a day after adding Campden tablets, I added the yeast. This morning before leaving for work I checked and we have the beginning Fermentation!!
