Timing the Inoculation with Malolactic BacteriaNumerous parameters are involved in selecting bacteria for malolactic fermentation (MLF). Choosing the right moment for inoculating wine with selected bacteria is a factor in successful MLF. Choosing the right moment for lactic acid bacteria inoculation controls MLF according to the wine style desired, and lets you adapt to technical constraints. To learn more about […]

Predicting Malolactic FermentationNumerous conditions influence the development and activity of malolactic bacteria in wine. Malolactic fermentation (MLF) that is spontaneously triggered too early or too late can result in loss of wine quality. To learn more about MLF feasability and how to measure it, as recommended by Lallemand, please consult the following link: Download PDF

Successful Yeast and Malolactic Bacteria Co-inoculation:White Wine VinificationCo-inoculating a must with yeast and malolactic bacteria accelerates the onset of malolactic fermentation (MLF) and makes it possible in difficult cases. This time savings can be decisive not only for finishing fruity and/or quick turnover wines, but also for carrying out MLF in a less oxidative medium, which reduces the production of buttery aromas. To […]

Successful Yeast and Malolactic Bacteria Co-inoculation: Red Wine VinificationCo-inoculating a must with yeast and malolactic bacteria accelerates the onset of malolactic fermentation (MLF) and makes it possible in difficult cases. This time savings can be decisive not only for fermenting quick turnover wines, but for limiting the risk of developing Brettanomyces and indigenous spoilage bacteria. To learn more about co-inoculation in red wine, and […]

Safe Alcoholic Fermentation: Providing Complete Nutrition for the YeastBalanced nutrition promotes yeast growth and optimizes the sensory impact of fermentation. Simply providing ammonia nitrogen and thiamine is not always enough for successful fermentation.

Safe Alcoholic Fermentation: Protecting the YeastSimply providing nitrogen and vitamins is not always enough for successful fermentation. When unprotected yeasts is introduced into an aggressive must, then protecting the yeast increases the chances of survival while optimizing the sensory impact of fermentation.
