Chr. Hansen showcases natural wine yeasts and cultures at Vinitech 2010

Chr. Hansen and its distributor, Soufflet Vigne will present Viniflora, the natural toolbox for winemakers at the Vinitech 2010 in Bordeaux, France from November 30 to December 2.

The Viniflora Prelude is the first pure Torulaspora delbruecki yeast launched in 2009 to increase complexity in wines during alcoholic fermentation.

Winemakers can use the ingredient to produce red, rose, white or sparkling wines to get closer to the 'wild ferment' effects.

Meanwhile, Viniflora CiNe is the first direct inoculation culture to achieve malolactic fermentation in wine while keeping the fruity flavors intact as the strain cannot produce the classical dairy and buttery notes related to this wine production process.
