Riesling Part III, re-racking
Ok, the instructions said that at approximately ten days, you can rack the wine again. I decided to do this for 2 reasons. 1) There was some significant sediment at the bottom (expected), and 2) I knew that I didn't top off the carboy when I first racked it from the primary fermenter. I am topping off with water, so I figure that this won't dilute the wine too much. Some folks say to top off with a like-minded wine. I believe in good ol' American tap water. I did this with my Chianti, which has been bottled for just under 5 weeks now. I tried a bottle a few days ago...not too shabby! Just needs some more aging.
This wine smells good, and I didn't taste any except for some when I started the siphoning with my good ol' American mouth.
Here are the pics. Sorry for the first pic. I did too much exposure stuff.
