What are the risks when malolactic fermentation occurs in the presence of residual sugar?
The problem when malo lactic fermentation occurs before the end of alcoholic fermentation comes mainly from the lactic bacteria hetero-fermentary metabolism of glucose and fructose. This metabolic path leads to the formation of lactic and acetic acids, resulting in an increase in the “buttery flavor”, as well as volatile acidity.
