GAIA™
(Metschnikowia fructicola)
Manage cold soaks with reduced spoilage risk
Product details
Vincent Gerbaux of the IFV (Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin) in Beaune, has selected a Gaïa yeast for use during cold soak. The presence of Gaïa™ during cold soak limits Kloeckera apiculata growth and acetic acid production. This opens new ways to manage pre- fermentative cold soak with a biological alternative to SO2.
