Malolactic Bacteria

SIHALACT Fresh

SIHALACT Fresh malolactic bacteria is a new lactic acid bacterial strain (Oenococcus oeni) for rosé and white wine processing that was selected from a German wine. As direct inoculation culture SIHALACT Fresh malolactic bacteria guarantees fast and safe malolactic fermentation (MLF). Freshness and aroma of rosé and white wines is confirmed by no or very low diacetyl formation.

Bacteria
Oenococcus Oeni for co-inoculation and sequential inoculation in white wine
Application
All grape varieties
Package Size
for 660 gal (25 hl) or 6604 gal (250 hl) of wine

Specifications

Application and Dosage

Do not use less than the recommended quantity. A lower dosage would significantly reduce the number of inoculation cells, resulting in much reduced inhibition of spontaneous lactic acid bacteria.

SIHALACT Fresh malolactic bacteria can be added as Co-Inoculation Culture (pH <3,5) or sprinkled into the wine once the alcoholic fermentation is complete (< 0.83 lb/1,000 gal (10 g/l) residual sugar). Intensive contact with oxygen through strong agitation or recirculation should be avoided. This is also the reason why the container should be kept sealed during MLF.

Direct Inoculation

For 660 gal (25 hl) or 6604 gal (250 hl) wine, sprinkle the contents of the package in 17 fl oz (500 ml) must or wine at 64–77°F (18–25°C).
