ML · malolactic fermentation

Up to Glossary

This Definition applies to: Any version.

A natural secondary fermentation occurring in nearly all quality red wines and some whites, which converts sharper-tasting malic acid into softer lactic acid, thus reducing the wine’s total acidity. Malolactic fermentation is said to add aromatic and flavor complexity, some say a "buttery" quality as well as textural softness or "creaminess". 30under30.com
