The Chardonnay I made last year was a straight "steel" type.
In my beer fridge at 58°F Rather fruity and dry. This year I would like to go for the buttery oak type. I plan on pressing my own grapes, then barrel fermenting it. Then Malo with lees stirring. Won't I need to ferment this one warm? I have a 65~70° F basement for the barrel. This is a new american oak barrel, so after fermentation I will age in steel and glass. (maybe add oak chunks if it needs it) Then re-fill the barrel with a cabernet. |
