Thursday 29th September
Well we decided to pick the sad looking Pecorino. They are showing at 25 Brix, small bunches, with a large number of the berries looking very raisin like.
But i was absolutely amazed at the size of the crop we picked. From Row 3 we had 138 Kgs and 82 Kilos from Row 4, so 220 Kilos in total. We picked and crushed them in the morning, destemmed by hand, and as they looked less than perfect, sulphited at a rate of 3 grams per 23 Kgs of grapes, ie 1 gram per 23Kgs more than last year.
We intend to let them soak for around 20 hours, then press and yeast them tomorrow morning.
