      Did two samples these numbers were so bad. Think these are very poor grapes by these numbers, and the must tastes like weak tea.

      Any suggestions on acid adjustments?

      Post Fermentation:
      After a long fermentation I have retested the pH and TA.
      pH 3.22
      TA 8.3

      The wine is very light in colour and very acidic in taste. Of the 150L batch I will only likely keep about 25-50L to blend with a grape concentrate, the rest will probably get discarded. Bringing the acid down will not make a drinkable wine, certainly not a typical and enjoyable wine. These grapes should not have harvested.
