Successful Yeast and Malolactic Bacteria Co-inoculation: Red Wine Vinification

Co-inoculating a must with yeast and malolactic bacteria accelerates the onset of malolactic fermentation (MLF) and makes it possible in difficult cases.  This time savings can be decisive not only for fermenting quick turnover wines, but for limiting the risk of developing Brettanomyces and indigenous spoilage bacteria.

Successful Yeast and Malolactic Bacteria Co-inoculation:White Wine Vinification

Co-inoculating a must with yeast and malolactic bacteria accelerates the onset of malolactic fermentation (MLF) and makes it possible in difficult cases. This time savings can be decisive not only for finishing fruity and/or quick turnover wines, but also for carrying out MLF in a less oxidative medium, which reduces the production of buttery aromas.

Good Practices for Restarting a Stuck Fermentation

A sluggish or stuck alcoholic fermentation (AF) can be avoided by using good rehydration practices, yeast protection and balanced nutrition. However, certain physical or chemical factors remain uncontrollable and accidents can happen during the winemaking process, resulting in problems for the AF.
