hey guys,

like always i made wine from fresh Syrah Grapes thou i was busy couldn't take out skins in usual time.

after i take them off of wine instead of dark red color all i see very dark purple color.

whats going on :confused: did i messed up and ruined my wine?
 
Dark purple is not a problem, it sounds like the extra contact time on the skins extracted more color, I would bet that it also extracted more tannins as well.
 
it soaked about 15 days usually i take them out in 7~8 days
i just hope didnt ruined it, it was great Syrah grapes this year it would be waste ....
