-
Shortens MLF duration, allowing faster wine stabilization and reduced microbial risk
-
Particularly beneficial in Chardonnay, where peptide levels are naturally low
-
OMRI listed and ideal for use in organic winemaking
Opti’Malo Blanc is a targeted malolactic fermentation nutrient designed specifically for white and rosé wines. These wines often lack the peptides and cofactors needed by Oenococcus oeni, making MLF more challenging and prone to delays or failure. Opti’Malo Blanc delivers a balanced supply of amino acids, desirable peptides, polysaccharides, and minerals derived from specific inactivated yeast. These nutrients promote bacterial health, enhance malic acid metabolism, and reduce the duration of malolactic fermentation. This is especially useful in varietals like Chardonnay, where peptide deficiencies can limit bacterial performance. The result is a healthier MLF with improved reliability and shorter fermentation time, making it easier to stabilize wines earlier in the winemaking process.
Protocol
Suspend Opti’Malo Blanc in a small volume of clean water or wine. Add directly to the wine immediately before inoculating with malolactic bacteria. Do not add to the malolactic rehydration water. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Usage Rates
Recommended dosage: 20 grams per hectoliter
= 0.2 grams per liter
= 0.76 grams per gallon
Use at the time of malolactic inoculation for best results. Especially effective in low-peptide wines or where MLF success has historically been difficult.
