Ran some numbers on that Tempranillo lot that came through this am. That's the fresh juice there up top. We ran it through the destemmer/crusher and tried to leave about 25% of the berries intact (uncrushed) for a little carbonic maceration. That helps boost the fruit character in the finished wine (theoretically).
Initial labs:
Brix = 25.2
pH = 3.79
T.A. = 5.6

Very interesting to see this fresh juice here and imagine how deep and rich of a wine its going to be in a few(?) years.
