So I'm still in the middle of making my first kit wine - WineExpert Chianti.
Due to life, you know that thing that happens when you're busy making other plans... My kit wine has kind of sat by the wayside for about a month and a half.
You may remember I posted a while back about degassing issues and never quite getting it to degass correctly. Well, I haven't gotten back to it again to check it and now it's been sitting on the lees for maybe a month and a half. Is this going to be problematic flavor wise?
I'll probably have some time this weekend to try and degass again, but if too much autolysis has occured, I may just have to lose faith in this batch and try again later. I still have to put the final fining in and let it settle out again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
