SILKA™ a new wine bacteria to produce silky red wines.

With this new bacteria isolated in Rioja (Spain), Lallemand Oenology, expands its range of selected natural wine bacteria which also share the capacity to contribute to the sensory profile of red wines.

Naturally suited to the warm climate wine conditions, SILKA™ resists to high alcohol degrees while demonstrating a regular malolactic fermentation kinetics.

SILKA^TM, with its unique organoleptic properties, allows to produce very fast, fruit-driven, complex and silky red wines, reducing bitterness and astringency notes.

SILKA ^TM is also well suited to perfom malolactic fermentation with oak contact.
