This malolactic bacterium has been carefully selected to induce malolactic fermentation in red wine with high alcohol levels, after direct inoculation. Viniflora CH16 has been isolated from a 16% Petit shiraz wine in the Russian River area of California, USA. The bacterium's natural environment gives a good picture of its application; CH16 has been carefully selected for its outstanding ability to conduct fast malolactic fermentation in high alcohol red wine (up to 16% v\/v) with a pH value above 3.4.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInnoculation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Viniflora CH16 should be added to dry wine, immediately after the alcoholic fermentation. Viniflora CH16 should always be inoculated directly into the wine. No rehydration or reactivation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e For more information about ML Bacteria, please see MoreWine!'s Guide to Malolactic Fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Very high fermentation speed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Low production of volatile acidity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Outstanding tolerance to high alcohol levels.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Excellent all round tolerance to pH, temperature and SO2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e No production of biogenic amines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Recommended for red wines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Direct inoculation, freeze-dried bacteria – does not require rehydration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e High numbers of active cells which ensure a quick start of fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e This strain is pH tolerant to 3.4, Total SO2 to 40 ppm (red wines), temperature 62 – 77° F and alcohol to 16% (v\/v)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Low level of volatile acidity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Cinnamoyl Esterase Negative\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51912963195169,"sku":"DYWM7","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/7521\/2321\/files\/10618.jpg?v=1760673281","url":"https:\/\/morebeer.mom\/products\/viniflorareg-ch16-dry-malolactic-bacteria-15","provider":"MoreBeer!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
