seed maturity and ripe fruit. Are you sure the wine doesent have high "Brett" levels. This could be confused with bell pepper. If you make it in a small barrel and more than one batch has the same quality, send out a sample for a "Brett" test. if its high, burn the barrel. It's whats causing the issue and it will never leave that barrel.
