Bactiv-aid 2.0 – Product Information
Bactiv-aid 2.0 is a new mix of natural compounds and bacterial nutrients selected specifically to improve malolactic bacteria growth in wine.
Bactiv-aid 2.0 binds compounds that can be inhibitory to the bacteria and ensures that bacteria have sufficient supply of key nutrients.
Bactiv-aid 2.0 optimizes bacteria growth conditions ensuring faster and more successful malolactic fermentations without, any negative effect on wine aroma or flavors.
The formulation of Bactiv-aid 2.0 is a balanced mix of carefully selected inactivated yeasts providing bacteria:
• the necessary amount of nutrients
• essential trace elements – helping bacterial adaptation when inoculated into wine
Bactiv-aid 2.0 comes with an allergen free formulation.
Bactiv-aid 2.0 is recommended for use in all wines inoculated with Viniflora®. Adding Bactiv-aid 2.0 will ensure faster and cleaner malolactic fermentation in most wines.
By adding Bactiv-aid 2.0 you reduce the time needed for malolactic fermentation by up to 40 %. To achieve the full benefits of Bactiv-aid 2.0, it should always be added at the time of inoculation with malolactic cultures.
Bactiv-aid 2.0 is strongly recommended if your wine has one of the following characteristics:
- Highly clarified white wine
- Harsh inoculation conditions: high alcohol, low pH
- History of problematic malolactic fermentation
- Alcoholic fermentation completed more than 14 days ago
- Malolactic fermentation management known to be a concern with thegrape variety used – eg. Merlot or Chardonnay
- Malolactic fermentation management known to be a concern with theyeast used – e.g. yeast strain producing SO2.
