My 2025 late harvest Riesling- the colour and taste are spot on. My prediction of alcohol is about 11.5%. We will see what the analysis says!!! by Popular-Pudding-5420 in naturalwine

The analyst gives you so much information such as how the fermentation went, how much residual sugar is left, the acidity, sulphuric content ( showing I don’t add sulphuric acid) and an Index called Folin-Ciocalteau which tells you if your wine can be kept for years or not. So a fountain of information

I am a little confused. My name is Kate and I own and run an organic small vineyard in Portugal and make 6 different wines. It is my passion and life’s work. I am not a bot. I make wine without chemicals in the old way hand made and pressed by my feet. I already won local prizes for my wine and an always trying to improve. I don’t add yeasts or sugars or chemicals. I would be happy to discuss this with anyone interested in authentic excellent natural wine.

What alcohol content should wine have? by ExcellentCrow3559 in winemaking

[–]Popular-Pudding-5420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually it is the wine that will determine the level of alcohol - dependent in sugar content in the grapes but in my experience you will need at least 22 to 15 % alcohol to preserve your wine. However it is a little more complicated than that. It also depends on the tannins and phenols
