Description

Robust and versatile strain for aroma complexity and mouthfeel enhancement

ENOFERM ALPHA® can efficiently conduct malolactic fermentation at cooler temperatures and positively contribute to wine aroma, complexity, and mouthfeel.
  • White wines have increased levels of pear, apricot, and pineapple aromas
  • Red wines have berry, cherry, and plum aromas with decreased green and vegetative characters
  • Shows good resistance to fungicides
  • Selected for its high survival rate, dominance during malolactic fermentation, and reliability; however, it is sensitive to high levels of lactic acid (>1.5 g/L) and should not be used when malic acid is >4 g/L if a complete MLF is desired
  • Oenococcus oeni isolated by the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin (IFV), Burgundy, France

Alcohol Tolerance: <15.5%
pH: >3.2
Total SO2 at crush: <50 ppm
