Dealing with Difficult MLF?

This late 2023 vintage is showing some challenging conditions, especially for the ML Bacteria and the completion of the malolactic fermentation (MLF). We have solutions to help you successfully complete the MLF.

Co-inoculation with Oeno1 - Great solutions for the last lots coming in

Co-inoculation, conducting alcoholic and Malolactic fermentation at the same time, offers numerous benefits:

  • Creates an ideal environment for ML Bacteria, with lower alcohol, more nutrients available, less bacteria inhibitors, and warmer temperatures.

  • Minimizes the risk of contamination and spoilage.

  • Reduces oxidation risks.

  • Less bound SO2, resulting in more efficient sulfiting and lower total SO2.

  • Produces fresh, fruity, clean wines with better balance and fuller body.

  • Saves time and costs

Addressing concerns about acetic acid production is crucial when choosing the yeast/bacteria combination. Oeno1 is a robust Oenoccocus Oeni strain, selected for its strength and compatibility with yeast. It quickly conducts MLF, reduces VA, and consumes ethylacetate. It produces clean wines without biogenic amines and diacetyl. Oeno1 comes in a freeze-dried form for direct addition to wine.

Secure Difficult ML with Bacteria XTREM

Bacteria XTREM can perform MLF even in challenging conditions, such as low-pH and high-alcohol wines. Its strength and ease of direct inoculation make it a secure choice in extreme conditions to complete MLF.
