We harvested the white grapes...primarily L'Acadie Blanc and Evangeline at the end of September 28 and shipped to the winery.
Nice grapes little spoilage but the wasps and rodents took thier tool. We lost alot of low hanging fruit on the L'Acadie to skunks and Marmots and lost some to wasps on the Evangeline.
Overall nice crop and it continues to grow as the vines mature. The collective brix was 20.5 and ph was 3.1. These are great numbers for white wine.
There is a general formula used to guage juice chemistry for white grapes and its the brix x (ph x ph). The target is having the result of this formula be close to 200. Of course this is just a general guage for juice chemistry.
Using our numbers we had 20.5 x (3.1 × 3.1) which results as 197. So pretty close to 200.
Awesome weather and the best family harvest crew!
