Veritas Winery and Vineyards
Summary:
Chardonnay harvested from the same block and processed identically was separated into two identical barrels. The both barrels were inoculated with the same yeast and received identical additions throughout AF. The trial lot was treated with FreshArom (Laffort) 30g/hL at the point of ⅓ brix depletion. Following AF, wines were settled and racked.
