In the past I have always sweetened using a sugar solution when I wanted a wine sweeter. This was always done after my last racking and the wine was crystal clear. (SO2 and Sorbate of course)
Now this year I set aside some juice from the pressing and froze it. Given that it will need to have fining etc when is the best time to add the reserve in the process?
I suspect after primary and secondary are complete and maybe even after the first fining. But I'm not sure. All opinions welcome.
Thanks
