BACTERIA Strains
Our malolactic bacteria are carefully selected for temperature and pH tolerance, they eliminate the risks of spontaneous MLF and help protect wine quality. Trusted, stable, and designed for real winery conditions.
MLF Extreme is a fast, high cell count malolactic bacteria built for low-pH and low-temperature fermentations, ideal for cool-climate and winter cellars.
It delivers subtle spice and vanilla notes, produces no detectable biogenic amines and is suitable for both sequential and co-inoculation.
MLF Robust is a high-cell-count, fast, and SO₂-resistant malolactic bacteria designed to perform reliably in the toughest conditions.
