L-Malic acid, added in combination with tartaric acid, is an easy and inexpensive tool to achieve an appropriate pH shift, and a high level of microbial integrity for malolactic fermentation.
It prevents the excessive precipitation of tartaric acid and potassium, and therefore the loss of dry extract in all wines. The result is improved sensory balance and palate harmony.
