New IVES article: Application of Turbiscan Lab® to study the mechanism of red wine fining with a specific yeast protein extract A recent study published in Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects explores the fining mechanism of red wine using a specific yeast protein extract (YPE). This research compares YPE with traditional gelatine, highlighting the unique benefits of YPE in wine […]

Technical Article: Specific bioprotection against Brettanomyces ABSTRACT LEVEL2 SALVA™ is a new non-Saccharomyces yeast of the specie Suhomyces pyralidae used as a specific bioprotection against Brettanomyces bruxellensis during the pre-fermentative steps of wine production. LEVEL2 SALVA™ produces the specific Brettanomyces Inhibition Factor Spkt1, which disrupts the […]

Annual South African Wine Summit 2025 SA Wine recently hosted the annual wine summit on the campus of the University of Stellenbosch with a central theme – “Lead the Future – let’s build wine brands in a changing world….” Various speakers took part, including from SA […]

Acceleration Life-Sized Acceleration Validating research results is a key step to which we dedicate both time and resources. We are supported by our network of external technical institutes as well as our partner distributors. We validate all the solutions we develop. […]

Ageing The ageing potential of a wine depends on various factors, including the grape variety, winemaking techniques, and storage conditions. If proper storage and timing are crucial for achieving the desired ageing outcomes, microbiological tools also play a significant role in wine ageing. […]

Aromas: esters The majority of esters are primary flavour compounds, mainly formed during fermentation via enzymatic or non-enzymatic esterification of carboxylic acids. The two main classes of esters important to wine are ethyl esters and acetate esters. With their specific metabolisms, certain […]

Aromas: thiols and terpenes Thiols are a family of aroma compounds that are widely known for their contribution to typical notes of citrus (3MH), passion fruit (3MH-A) and gooseberry/boxwood/cassis (4MMP). These aromas are highly characteristic of some white grape varieties, such as Sauvignon Blanc, […]

Bioacidification Global warming affects winegrowing, grapes and wine composition. One of the impacts of climate change is the loss of acidity and freshness in wines which is a real concern to winemakers and a challenge for the wine industry. Acidity balance […]

Bioprotection As an expert in the selection and production of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, we have developed many natural and efficient solutions from vine to wine to bioprotect grapes, musts or wines against spoilage microorganisms or against oxidation. The […]

Canned wines In response to the need for wine packaging materials that are more sustainable than glass bottles, aluminium is a key alternative. This is why, in recent years, canned wines have been increasingly popular on the global market. This change of […]
