DIFFERENTIATE YOUR WINES AND CREATE NEW ONES WITH VINIFLORA®!

Competition in the global market for wine increases daily with consumers asking for better quality products, higher diversity of wines and better value per bottle.

Accordingly, wine producers throughout the world have increased their focus on two key areas when it comes to wine:

Irrespective of the type of wine: classical 'terroir type' or modern 'varietal type', fermentation management is key to transforming the potential wine coming from the grapes into the best and safest wine possible.

To achieve these natural transformations in optimal conditions, Chr. Hansen has developed a range of natural solutions to assist winemakers and marketing managers in:

creating wines in connection with new consumption trends; see for instance how the combination of our products Viniflora^® FrootZen and Viniflora^® CiNe help to optimize fruit flavour intensity in white and red wines;

creating clear differentiation; e.g. Viniflora^® non-Saccharomyces yeasts range and their very distinct effects on mouthfeel and flavour complexity.

optimizating wine production through a better control of alcoholic and malolactic fermentations

This toolbox for winemakers is named Viniflora^® and contains different types of innovative yeasts, bacteria, nutrients and enzymes all carefully selected to bring wine producers the very best from Nature.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR NEW CONCEPT: OPTIMIZE FRUIT expression IN WINES

19 December, 2012

Among the major global trends within the wine industry, Chr. Hansen idendifies a growing demand from wine consumers for fresher, easier, closer to the initial fruit.

This is particularly true in North America where a wave of 'unoaked' wines (sometimes mentioned as 'naked wines') has reached the shelves and the tables since the beginning of this decade...

To answer that need Chr. Hansen recently launched a new concept named 'Optimize Fruit Expression through fermentations' that works both in white, rosé and red wines gathering together our two most innovative products in a very effective combo:

1- the non-Saccharomyces yeast product 'FrootZen' - to use in grape juices as a prefermentation product before winemakers´ classical yeast product;

2- the malolactic culture 'CiNe' - to achieve your malolactic fermentation without producing a single molecule of diacetyl (typical creamy/dairy like flavour) keeping all the freshness of your initial wine while you increase mouthfeel (natural lactic acid production) and you stabilise the wine through an elegant, natural way.

Wineries around the world have now a solution to optimize fruit expression in their wines and this creates new opportunities for winemakers and marketing managers!
