hello, i have recently acquired a vinyard in far north qld which was previously owned by the banks and is thus or was neglected for a few years. however a vintage is upon me and i wish to learn the art of making fortified black muscat in the shortest possible time. any tips from fermentation on appreciated. partic the expression 'oxidised' in relation to fermentation of fortified wines. i have read that 'oxidisation' is to be encouraged which is at odd with the rest of the wine making world. can an explanation be offered/. a source document or good read with specifics would be appreciated.
thanks graham faulkner, flaggy creek wines herberton fax 07 40962119 email gftarps@hotmail.com
