WINE YEAST PRODUCTION – A DIRECT LINK TO ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION SUCCESS

UNDER INVESTIGATION NO4 The use of selected wine yeast in dry form dates to the mid-1960’s (Kraus et al, 1983). Gradually, this practice has been one of the most important innovation in winemaking.  It allowed winemakers reliability and security during alcoholic fermentation (AF), as well as a tremendous choice of different yeasts, without the concern […]

MANAGEMENT OF MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION TO ENHANCE RED WINE COLOR AND REDUCE THE RISK OF BRETTANOMYCES SPOILAGE

MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an integral step in red winemaking, which not only is wine de-acidification, as it will also influence the composition of volatile fermentation-derived compounds with concomitant effects on wine sensory properties and the wine color profile. Long-established winemaking protocols for MLF induction generally involve inoculation of bacteria starter cultures post-alcoholic […]

UNIQUE SPECIFIC AUTOLYSATE TO HELP WITH PINOT NOIR COLOUR AND TEXTURE MANAGEMENT

COLOUR AND TEXTURE MANAGEMENT Recent research has given us a much better understanding of how yeast and phenolic compounds interact in red wine, enabling us to better characterize the biochemical and biophysical properties of yeast with unique wine-relevant characteristics. We have described the development of a specific yeast autolysate with unique wine sensory impacting properties. […]
