As we head into the crucial malolactic fermentation season, it's time to make sure your wine is set up for success. Proper ML nutrition is often overlooked, but it’s key to a smooth and effective secondary fermentation. That’s where ATPGroup's specialty products, Malo Detox and Malo Nutribact, come into play.
Malo Detox:
Malo Detox is specifically designed to detoxify wine at the end of primary fermentation, creating a cleaner environment for malolactic bacteria to thrive. Unlike other products that combine ML nutrients and are used during or after ML inoculation, Malo Detox works earlier in the process by removing harmful medium-chain fatty acids such as octanoic (C8) and decanoic (C10) acids that are produced by the yeast during alcoholic fermentation. This allows winemakers to rack or filter the clean wine away from these bound toxins before introducing malolactic bacteria, giving you a distinct advantage and significantly reducing the risk of a misbehaving fermentation.
Malo Nutribact:
After alcoholic fermentation, wine often lacks essential nutrients like arginine and amino acids needed by malolactic bacteria, especially if not aged on lees. Assessing the nutritional status of wine before ML fermentation can be time-consuming, complicated, and costly. Malo Nutribact offers a reliable solution. Specifically formulated for malolactic bacteria, Malo Nutribact delivers the nutrients and energy needed for a short lag phase and robust growth, ensuring a healthy and vigorous fermentation. Unlike generic yeast hulls that may not fully support ML bacteria, Malo Nutribact is designed specifically to promote the healthy growth of bacteria, helping winemakers avoid costly delays and setbacks.
Both Malo Detox and Malo Nutribact are compatible with any ML bacteria, including native strains, and can be used in any wine.
ATPGroup not only provides Malo Detox and Malo Nutribact but also features an exclusive array of effective freeze-dried malolactic bacteria cultures, crafted to suit a wide variety of malolactic fermentation (MLF) conditions. Our unique production technique applies stress factors during the process to ensure the highest level of activity upon inoculation.
For optimal completion of malolactic fermentation, we suggest using our Malo range of malolactic bacteria cultures with Malo Detox and Malo NutriBact nutrients. For more information on our ML products or for help designing a protocol specific to your needs, please contact your ATPGroup Enology Products Specialist, call (707) 836-6840, or visit ATPGroup.com.

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is crucial in winemaking for reducing acidity, enhancing flavor, and improving stability. By converting sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid, MLF softens the wine, creating a smoother, more palatable profile while also adding complexity, such as buttery or creamy notes, particularly in wines like Chardonnay. This process, which typically occurs after primary fermentation, also stabilizes the wine by preventing potential spoilage from spontaneous malic acid fermentation. MLF is common in red wines and some white wines and is often induced by inoculating the wine with a selected bacterial strain to achieve a specific texture, flavor, and overall quality of the wine.
MLF is much slower and less turbulent than primary (alcoholic) fermentation; taking weeks, even months, to complete. The fermentation is complete when malic acid levels are measured below 0.1 g/L.
Recommended practices for a successful MLF:
Identifying and Correcting a Sluggish Fermentation:
Malolactic fermentation can be a slow process, but sometimes it slows too much or stops altogether before the malic acid has been fully degraded. Below are recommended parameters to evaluate if the MLF activity seems to be slowing. Start by assessing the physicochemical state of the wine to ensure it is conducive to MLF. After evaluating the wine, assess the health of the bacteria. Sometimes a small intervention is all that is needed to get back on track.
If none of the above seem to work, it may be necessary to restart the stuck fermentation.
Restarting a Stuck MLF:
If MLF stalls and cannot be revived, it's essential to remove any toxins and lees from the wine before restarting the process. Detoxifying the wine before MLF is a step often overlooked or assumed to be handled by yeast hulls, but taking this step significantly increases the chances of successful inoculation and helps ensure that MLF proceeds as intended.
ATPGroup offers an exclusive and comprehensive range of highly effective freeze-dried malolactic bacteria cultures, designed to meet virtually any MLF condition. Our unique production method introduces stress factors throughout the process, ensuring maximum activity upon inoculation. To achieve the most effective completion of malolactic fermentation, we recommend combining the strength of our Malo range of malolactic bacteria cultures with Malo Detox and Malo NutriBact nutrients.

Cold stabilization has long been a cornerstone process in wine production, crucial for preventing tartrate crystal formation in wine. Traditionally, this process has involved chilling wine to near-freezing temperatures for several days, requiring large refrigeration tanks and substantial energy consumption. Today, the innovative Padovan Kristalstop (K-Stop) is transforming this labor-intensive and energy-hungry process into a streamlined, energy-efficient operation with a much lower carbon footprint. By utilizing a continuous process, the K-Stop can stabilize wine in just 90 minutes, allowing for smaller equipment, reduced energy use, and increased flexibility in production schedules.
Energy-Efficiency
The K-Stop offers an 80% energy recovery rate in refrigeration, thanks to a crystallization tank that is 60 to 80 times smaller than traditional refrigeration tanks, as well as its pre-cooling process that uses a counter-current heat exchanger. This design not only reduces energy consumption but also allows wineries to maximize their production floor space without compromising on efficiency.
Resource Recovery and Sustainability
The K-Stop system also emphasizes resource recovery, with a 95% recovery rate for bitartrate crystals. These crystals can be reused in the stabilization process or sold for additional revenue, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy approach.
Moreover, for units equipped with an on-board chiller, the K-Stop system can recover CIP water at 104°F (40°C). This recovered warm water can be reused, further reducing energy costs and promoting sustainable practices in the winery.
Automation and Flexibility
The K-Stop system's continuous process allows it to operate automatically 24 hours a day without a dedicated operator. Wineries can also adjust the flow of wine as needed, allowing for interruptions or changes in production schedules without affecting the quality of the stabilization process.
What this means for you
The Bottom Line: A Sustainable and Efficient Choice
The Padovan Kristalstop (K-Stop) system represents a significant leap forward in cold stabilization technology. As wineries worldwide continue to prioritize sustainability and efficiency, the K-Stop system stands out as a pioneering solution that meets these demands. With its innovative design and resource-saving features, it's not just a better way to cold stabilize wine—it's a smarter way to do business in the modern wine industry.
ATPGroup is proud to offer Padovan winemaking equipment to the North American wine industry. Our team of experts is trained and certified by Padovan and is here to support you every step of the way; from delivery and training to proactive maintenance, speedy repairs, and readily available spare parts.
