[BLOG ENTRY]
We Pressed the 250lbs of Malbec from Zillah, WA last night. Brix were down to around 0.5 but the cap was still firm. Great flavor and color. Very promising.
We got about 20G of wine with a moderate pressing. The free-run was very fruit forward and even a little sweet while the pressed wine picked up tannins and became more tart. The wine is in a 15G stainless keg and glass carboys with bubblers or breathable bungs while we wait to bottle the rest of our wine. We will rack it into Lee's 15G French barrel after it settles for 2 weeks.
