Bringing Sour Back
Questions for those familiar with this strain:
1. How low of a temperature will this ferment? 59°F?
2. What sort of timeframe is needed for the complex flavors from aging sur lie?
3. At what temperature are you aging?
4. Do you employ bâtonnage?
Pardon my French.
"When [D47 is] left on lees, ripe, spicy aromas with tropical and citrus notes are developed. For optimum flavor production, the wine should be tasted often until the right flavor profile is reached. Once achieved, the wine should be racked from the lees into a secondary fermentor for aging."
