Default White wine acitdity

My white wine has a 0.875% acidity as measured using a kit. Do i need
to decrease the acidity. I plan on sweetening it to make a semi sweet
wine.

I would taste it as a double check; if dry it should be pretty tart.
Chill it and taste it again, it should be a little less obviously tart.


You may want to cold stabilize it first, that can pull it down a gram
or so. Sweetening can cover the range you are in, but it is on the
high end from my experience.

What is it?
