Lalvin 31 MBR Wine Malolactic Bacteria

Lalvin 31‚ is suitable for cool climate wines as it can enhance varietal characters, fruit flavours and promote colour stability. Wines and ciders made using Lalvin 31 have good body and length. In white wines, it adds complexity due to its light buttery flavour. With lees contact the buttery notes decrease, elevating fruit flavours and mineral notes. In red wines, dark berry fruit flavours, colour stability, and mouthfeel are increased. Tolerant to high levels of lactic acid (from high starting malic acid levels) that can be inhibitory to other ML strains. Selected for its capacity to achieve malolactic fermentation in low pH and low temperature situations.
