Description
MLF starter cultures, MaloBacti™ HF2 DI, has an outstanding performance to conduct fast malolactic fermentation in wine with high alcohol content or low pH, and it works equally well in both red and white wines. MaloBacti™ HF2 DI is a strain of Oenococcus oeni and was isolated from a Pinot Noir wine.
MaloBacti™ HF2 DI was isolated from a Pinot Noir with 15.4%vol. of alcohol. Among all commercially available MLF starter cultures, MB HF2 DI is the one with the lowest ßglucosidases activity. Therefore, it is very suitable for colour sensitive red wines but also white wines and shows excellent sensory properties. The wines lose their harsh and vegetal character without any additional flavour modification.
