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. Organoleptically the strain Alpha enhances velvet red fruits, roundness and complexity in red wines and respects varietal aromas in white wines. This strain has a tendency to reduce green and vegetative flavours. High in permease activity hence highly recommended for merlots, which tend to be troublesome variety to complete MLF.

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.

VP41 was isolated in a hot region of Italy during an extensive European Union collaboration to research natural Oenococcus oeni strains with unique performance and winemaking properties. VP41 demonstrates excellent tolerance to alcohol (near 16.5% v/v) and a good tolerance of low pH (down to 3.1). VP41 is sensitive to low temperatures and performs best when wine temperature is maintained above 16 degrees C. This strain contributes to the red berry fruit aromas in red wine.

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.
