Product details

Adding selected bacteria triggers malolactic fermentation for white and rosé wines.INOBACTER™ is used following a three stage protocol (reactivation, acclimatisation and seeding the tank) which enables bacteria to adapt to the lowest pHs.INOBACTER™ can be used as co-inoculation with yeast or inoculated after the completion of alcoholic fermentation The excellent tolerance of this strain to extreme wine conditions enables an effective malic acid metabolism.

Selected by Selected in the famous French region of high-quality sparkling wine by CIVC, Epernay France

Wine bacteria biodiversity driving sensory profiles of red and whites wines

Wine bacteria have a more considerable impact on the wine sensory profile than previously thought. New findings have shown that the genetic diversity within the wine bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is very rich, and that it can have implications on how the wine bacteria perform, especially in terms of revelation of aroma compounds and wine […]

Co-Inoculation

Co-inoculation is the practice of inoculating selected wine bacteria at the beginning of the winemaking process shortly after yeast inoculation, usually 24 to 48 hours after yeast inoculation. This technique is advantageous because not only will it secure the malolactic fermentation (MLF), but also because there are definite advantages that are recognized by winemakers and […]
