Filtering
We usually don’t filter our wines unless we have to for some reason or another. The Petite and the Zin needs filtration, they’re not as clear as we’d like and the residual sugar is higher in the Zin than I’m comfortable with leaving unfiltered. I was able to borrow a plate and frame filter from Ryan, winemaker at Van Ruiten Family Winery, and took care of things with the generous help of Mea and Stan from KLR Machines.
