Testing Our Chenin Blanc

It has been more than 1 month since we last tested our Chenin Blanc. In November, when we tested our wine, I took a photo of the clarity of the wine. Unfortunately, I didn't create the appropriate photo-op for the wine, but this time, I tried to create a background that would enable us to appropriately assess the clarity and the color of the wine. This is a photo of the side by side of the November and the January wine clarity. It's a little difficult to discern but I do think that the January photo shows a wine that has become a bit clearer.
The values that we got from our test on January 7 are as follows:
  • pH = 3.07
  • TA = 9.4 g/L
  • SO2 = 40 ppm
Once again, we were only able to taste a small sip of the wine but we think that it is getting a bit more aromatic and has evolved with a bit more of a tropical fruit flavor instead of the searing acidity we first encountered.
