Excellence® B-Nature® is used as bio-protection to control the grape ecological niche.
Excellence® B-Nature® has particular characteristics that makes it suitable for bioprotection:
100 % Metschnikowia pulcherrima
Not fermenting yeast
Control natural flora at harvest
Decrease the dosage of SO2 on the grapes
Reduce SO2-combining molecules
Increase the wine’s aromatic complexity
Dosage: 30 - 50 g/ton
Application: Sprinkle on grapes at harvest, fruit processing or pressing
This product is allowed for a use in Organic and NOP according to the current regulations.
Controlling the microbial flora for winemaking without sulfites
WHY USE EXCELLENCE B-NATURE?
Excellence B-Nature can be used as alternative to SO2 or as complement to SO2. B-Nature helps controlling microbial development. It protects grapes from spoilage microbes and prevents VA, ethylacetate, volatile phenols production, prevents depletion of nutrients, thus improving Saccharomyces dominance, health and fermentation capacities.
HOW TO APPLY EXCELLENCE B-NATURE ?
Simply Sprinkle it on the top or grapes or juice, at 30-50 g/ton. Applications:
At picking when grapes harvested by machine to protect grapes as soon as possible during transportation.
During tank filling to protect grapes from microbial spoilage during cold soaking.
During maceration for whites and rose, to protect and prevent uncontrolled start of fermentation.
Before yeast inoculation in whites, roses and sparkling, when juice is getting warmer to prevent VA, ethylacetate production
During juice lees maceration to prevent uncontrolled start of fermentation.
In the press pan for sparkling wines, as alternative to SO2 to control aromatic profile and limit spoilage.
As alternative to SO2 in high pH grapes.
CAN I USE EXCELLENCE B-NATURE WITH SO2?
Yes, Excellence B-Nature can be used with SO2, up to 60 ppm.
