I've got a French Colombard and Red blend (Merlot/Syrah) fermenting and I want to introduce some oak to the fermenters. Is it better to introduce it during the primary or to the secondary where it can sit longer?
Salud!
By the way, here are the specs on my wine:
Grape juice from Lodi. No skins
Merlot / Syrah blend Specific Gravity 1.092 Brix 24% Potential alcohol 13%
Yeast: Lalvin ICV-D21: The ‘terroir’ yeast
French Colombard Specific Gravity 1.084 Brix 22% Potential Alcohol 12%
Yeast: Lalvin ICV-GRE: For easy-to-drink Rhône style wines
