An Oenococcus oeni culture for MLF under difficult conditions.
Purpose
Maloferm Plus is a bacterium for completing MLF under difficult conditions: low pH, high sulphur and high alcohol.
Application
- Sequential inoculation.
- Premium red and white wines.
- Produces little to no diacetyl.
- Preserves the wine's freshness and varietal character.
- Short lag phase and good fermentation kinetics.
- Does not produce biogenic amines.
Science and technology
Wine parameters before inoculation: alcohol 14.7%; volatile acidity 0.39 g/L; total acidity 9.0 g/L; pH 3.2; residual sugar 0.75 g/L; total SO2 27.9 mg/L; malic acid 1.2 g/L.
Technical properties
| Temperature tolerance | 14 °C |
| Alcohol tolerance | 16 % (v/v) |
| Total SO2 at inoculation | < 60 mg/L |
| pH | > 3,1 |
Origin
Bacteria Oenococcus oeni, selected by Oenobrands, France.
Dosage
1 g/hL.
Use
No rehydration needed. For best distribution, dissolve one sachet in 500 mL of chlorine-free water at 20 °C for no more than 15 minutes and stir gently. The bacteria are added after the end of alcoholic fermentation. Also suitable for co-inoculation.
Packaging and storage
Pack sizes: 25 g · 100 g. The product can be stored for 18 months at 4 °C or 36 months at −18 °C.
