I have no interest in helping to sustain a myth.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751383359424192213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866918659667852596.post-11066756552402889362009-03-16T16:43:00.000-07:002009-03-16T16:43:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751383359424192213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866918659667852596.post-28876375091664891542009-03-16T16:13:00.000-07:002009-03-16T16:13:00.000-07:00Hi David, The fact that wines always produce sulf...Hi David, The fact that wines always produce sulfites as a by product of fermentation is the myth perpetuated by the industry. We've been producing wines with out sulfites for about 20 years now and most, if not all, have not produced sulfites as by product. We did a study in 1991 a released it to the wine press. Many chose to ignore it because they printed this Myth and were to embarassed to print the correction. David, I be happy to go over the biochemistry & details with you on this some time. But it simply comes down to the nutrient level in the must during fermentation. If the yeast have enough nutrients to properly ferment the grape must, then sulfites are not produced as a biprodict of the fermentation. We, at Hallcrest Vineyards, under The Organic Wine Works label, have been very succesful at producing sulfite free wines, because of the yeast we use and the fact we utilize grapes that are "in balance" out in the vineyard. They have the proper nutrient balance as result of being subtainably grown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
