Time to Check on Some Preharvest Numbers

We feel that our vines are about a week behind their usual harvest date. On Sunday, September 19, we took in a representative sample from the Auxerrois, usually the first variety that we harvest and our Chardonnay, the second variety that we harvest.
The numbers that we got were the following:
Variety Weight Volume
of Juice
Brix pH TA
Auxerrois 129 g 50 mL 18.0 3.36 9.9 g/L
Chardonnay 139 g 65 mL 18.6 3.04 8.0 g/L
We typically do not see such a high pH for the Auxerrois at this stage so that is something to keep in mind as we plan for our harvest date.
