For each variety, an unsettled and unracked juice was used as the control. All juices were fermented at 16.7°C with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Montrachet strain #522. Wines made from the unclarified juices tended to be higher in higher alcohol content. The methanol content was slightly higher in wines from the pectolytic enzyme-treated juices. Wines from the clarified juices were generally preferred by taste panelists to those from unclarified juices. ER -
