#1
I hear a lot about stirring lees to help oxygenate it. But if you're just stirring it around in a bunch of wine, where does the oxygen come from? #2 When is lees not gross? For instance, we whole cluster pressed chardonnay and settled it overnight and there was clearly a dark (gross) layer and a lighter (fine) layer. However, when I pressed a fermented red, the lees was a consistent lighter color. Is this considered gross or fine? Is there a clear distinction between the two? ....Michael |
