Wine Bacteria – contributor to wine styles

The evidence is stronger than ever. Malolactic bacteria are important tools to influence the sensory profiles of wines. It has been long known that malolactic bacteria (ML) are essential to reduce the acidity of wine through malolactic fermentation. But now, our on-going research is showing their sensory potential as well. Whether a Chardonnay is more or less buttery, or a red wine has intense red berry aromas are now confirmed by numerous trials and research results.
