ML Viniflora CiNe - 2500L

Viniflora CiNe is a freeze-dried, direct inoculation starter culture of Oenococcus oeni. 

CiNe is a unique strain that does not metabolize citric acid therefore it does not produce diacetyl or the typical buttery/creamy flavor traditionally linked to malolactic cultures. CiNe intensifies the fruit in white, rose and red wines. 

• Recommended for white, red and rose wines
• Direct inoculation, freeze-dried bacteria – does not require rehydration
• High numbers of active cells which ensure a quick start of fermentation
• This strain is pH tolerant to 3.2, Total SO₂ to 30 ppm, temperature 62 – 77° F and alcohol to 14% (v/v)
• Low level of volatile acidity
• Cinnamoyl Esterase Positive
