Alpha 1-Step™ Selected by IFV, France Oenococcus oeni Red Wine

White Wine

15.5 % > 3.2 Mouthfeel Complexity Fruity Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet Alpha was selected by the Institut Francais de la vigne et du vin (IFV), France, from spontaneous malolactic fermentations showing excellent fermentation activity and sensory contribution.

In addition to it’s excellent wine tolerance, AWRI YV Select™ is an uniquely Australian wine bacteria, selected for its robustness and performance under Australian winemaking conditions.
Beta Co-Inoc™ Italian selection from the CRAFT project Oenococcus oeni Red Wine

White Wine

15 % 3.2 high intensity of fresh fruit Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet Fresh fruit oriented wines represent a significant part of the wine worlds market share. Generally, this wine style is made from grape varieties with high aromatic potential. Although keeping the fresh fruit character during the winemaking process is challenging, several studies reported that using co-inoculation strategy maintained these fresh fruit characters while avoiding excessive acetic acid and diacetyl production. BETA co-inoc contributes to fresher fruit oriented red and white wines. BETA co-inoc has demonstrated good compatibility with many selected yeast strains and showed best synergy and performance when used with a co-inoculation protocol.

ML Prime™ Selected by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy, Lactobacillus plantarum Red Wine

10 % 3.4 Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet ML Prime™ is a new concept of freeze-dried starter culture with a powerful Lactobacillus plantarum with very high malolactic activity and no risk of volatile acidity (VA) production. It has been developed with a new production process that optimizes the active bacterial culture. Its high malolactic enzyme activity strongly shortens the lag phase and can quickly degrade malic acid content up to 3 g/L. It is able to achieve a very fast malolactic fermentation before the growth of indigenous bacteria, often responsible for the VA increase or other wine defects in high pH conditions. Used in co-inoculation, it is perfectly suited to conduct MLF in classical red winemaking process using short or medium macerations or thermovinification process on the liquid phase. It is the perfect tool for winemakers for red vinification with low natural acidity and pH > 3.4.
O-Mega 1-Step® Selected in South of France by the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin (IFV), France Oenococcus oeni Red Wine
