@fullertonwinery: 🍷 It's Wine Wednesday! We're counting down the days until harvest. In this episode, we're out sampling the vineyard to see just how close we are to bringing in this year's fruit. To check ripeness, we take a representative sample of grape clusters from all over the vineyard — the goal is to stay random and unbiased in what we pick. Back at the winery, we process the samples: removing the berries from the stems and pressing out the juice. That juice gets analyzed for two key indicators — Brix and pH. 🍇 Brix measures the approximate sugar content in the juice. 🍇 pH measures acidity. As grapes ripen, both Brix and pH typically rise. Our goal is to pick when Brix, pH, and flavor reach optimal levels. 📈 Every sample brings us one step closer to picking day. #WineWednesday #HarvestSeason #Winemaking #VineyardLife #Brix
