Default mold in primary fermentation stage

I have been making wine from grapes at home for several years and
never encountered this problem. During the primary fermentation stage
I noticed some mold on the top of the cap of some in a few of the
primary fermenters. I am working with alicante and grenache grapes for
the first time and have heard that this is not uncommon with these
grapes. As I said before, I never encountered this before. the weather
here has been exceptionally hot, in the 70s during the day and 50s at
night.

I removed the cap with the mold and set these primary fermenters
aside. Any ideas about what I should do? I appreciate your help.
