ENOFERM BETA™

(Oenococcus oeni)

ENOFERM BETA™ was isolated in Italy and is best used to enhance tannin structure and red berry varietal character in reds. The name “BETA" comes from its capacity to increase levels of beta-damascenone and beta-ionone, which contribute floral notes, especially in Merlot. The strain is pH tolerant to 3.2, SO2 tolerant to 60 ppm, temperature tolerant to 14°C (57°F) and alcohol tolerant to 14.5%. ENOFERM BETA™ benefits from the addition of a malolactic nutrient, such as Acti-ML™.
