The strategic use of malolactic bacteria during the grape harvesting process can play a pivotal role in defining your wine’s sensory profile, overall quality, and unique character, and choosing the correct strain is paramount to achieve the desired outcome for your final wine.
Enter ATPGroup – your MLF guiding partner. Our comprehensive and highly effective Malo range of Oenococcus oeni strains are an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution. These freeze-dried cultures undergo a distinctive production method that introduces stress factors at various stages to ensure peak activity upon inoculation into your wine.
For managing even the most challenging MLF conditions, the Malo-Plus and Malo-Plus HA strains, with their high alcohol and low pH tolerance, stand ready. If you’re aiming for the aromas and mouthfeel of moderate diacetyl levels, the Malo-D is your go-to choice. Seeking more complexity? Our multi-strain contender, Malo-Multi, is ideal. And for heightened complexity and enriched mouthfeel, Malo-Vigna excels even in the most trying circumstances. The Malo range is available in dose sizes ranging from 660 gallons to 100K gallons, to optimize dosage for all wineries.
The best strategy for effective completion of malolactic fermentation is to combine the strength of the Malo Plus range with Malo Detox and Malo NutriBact ML nutrients. Pre-inoculation, Malo Detox curbs natural post-primary fermentation toxins and fosters a favorable microbial environment. Malo NutriBact, packed with natural yeast derivatives and micronutrients, propels a swift and thorough MLF, particularly in stress-laden wines.
