Grape Harvest and Winemaking Update

This morning I added yeast nutrient to the Sangiovese, it is already fermenting slowly.

For the past few days, the Montepulciano has been fermenting strongly, weve been punching the cap at least 3 times a day. At 4pm today, after around 70 hours of on the skin fermentation, we pressed the Montepulciano firmly for around 50 litres of juice.

To this we added 4 teaspoons of yeast nutrient and left to warm ferment in the workroom.
