Relationships between the wine yeast inoculation method and the composition and sensory profile of winesBy F. Bordet, C. Raynal, A. Ortiz-Julien, A. Silvano, J.M. Heras, A. Dumont Wine yeasts play a crucial role in the winemaking process and are essential to induce and achieve alcoholic fermentation (AF). Different options are available to winemakers, including spontaneous fermentation or fermentations with the use of selected wine yeast. This latter option offers […]

Are Lallemand Oenology products concerned by new labelling rules from Dec. 8th 2023?1. Wine Labelling Context The European Commission published Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 amending labelling rules for wine and aromatised wine products by, among other things, making mandatory to communicate the list of ingredients (including additives, and excluding processing aids), used during the vinification process and also the nutritional values for these products. This information could be […]

The various nitrogen sources as wine yeast nutrient: The importance of organic nutritionYeast needs nitrogen, among other things, to grow and ensure a smooth and complete alcoholic fermentation (AF). If the assimilable nitrogen is less than 140 mg/L, the grape must is considered deficient, and in this case wine yeasts need an addition of external nitrogen. Nitrogen for the yeast comes in different forms What is complex […]

Biogenic Amines in Wine and how to control themBiogenic amines are found in fermented food and beverages, including wine. Of the many biogenic amines, histamine, tyramine and putrescine are the most important in wine. It is the metabolism of amino acids by lactic acid bacteria that produce the biogenic amines found in wine. Red wines tend to have higher biogenic amines content than […]

Inoculating with yeast to acidifyA non-Saccharomyces yeast, Laktia, can naturally acidify white and red musts by converting a small amount of sugar into lactic acid at the start of alcoholic fermentation. This is a new way to acidify wine. The article is published with the permission of La Vigne TAP-ANG Levure
