Malolactic Conversion: Enhancing the Taste, Balance and Texture of Wine
Malolactic conversion (MLC) plays a crucial role in shaping a wine’s flavour, texture, and overall balance. During this process, sharp malic acid is converted into softer lactic acid, resulting in a rounder mouthfeel, fuller body, and a shift in the aroma profile from fresh, crisp notes to riper, creamier nuances. Depending on the grape variety and desired wine style, MLC can be encouraged or intentionally avoided to precisely control wine quality.
