O-Mega™
(Oenococcus oeni)
Product details
O-Mega™ was isolated and selected in South of France by the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin (IFV) for its capacity to quickly achieve malolactic fermentation (MLF) in a wide range of applications. It is a secure and efficient strain which tolerates low pH or high alcohol conditions with an easy protocol of use (MBR® process). Reliable on white, red and rosé wines, complements fresh and fruit driven wines and helps to stabilise red wine colour because of its slower degradation of acetaldehyde.
