π· Bottling Season Is Around the Corner
For many winemakers, the fermentation is finished, the wine is settling, and bottling day is starting to appear on the calendar.
Bottling is one of the most rewarding days in the cellar.
Months of planning, fermentation, racking, and patience finally come together in a bottle you can share with family and friends.
A few reminders before bottling:
βοΈ Make sure the wine is clear and stable
βοΈ Double-check free SOβ levels
βοΈ Sanitize everything thoroughly
βοΈ Have bottles, corks, and supplies ready before you begin
Good bottling practices help protect all the work you've put into your wine.
