I picked up a Chardonnay and Malbec from Chile.

The SG was around 1.089 on both, pH around 3.0 and TA was unusually
low for the pH, 3.5 and 3.2 as tartaric. I calibrated the meter and
checked the normailty of the NAOH so the numbers are right. The juice
was a little flabby so i added around 50 grams of tartaric to both.
Time will tell. It's going now.
