Unleash the Future of Winemaking with Pinnacle™ MLF Bacteria!

It takes all of a winemaker's experience, skill and passion to craft an outstanding and memorable wine that will delight existing customers and attract new ones. Younger consumers, in particular, are looking for new taste experiences, increasing the demand for wines with bold flavors and aromatic complexity — but without negative characteristics.

Throughout history, winemakers have been aware of reduced acidity and other undesirable changes in their wine after fermentation. However, it was challenging to control these changes because they didn’t fully understand why they occurred. In the early twentieth century, scientists discovered the lactic acid bacteria responsible for this malolactic fermentation (MLF).

AB Biotek continues to pioneer wine yeast product development, drawing on its extensive knowledge of fermentation and production and its mastery of science and technology. The company has now developed an innovative new solution that modifies the malic acid found in grape juice. The resulting product is Pinnacle™ MLF Bacteria, which helps improve and control fermentation and reduce acidity.

Today’s winemakers can now use Pinnacle’s MLF Bacteria to enhance their wines’ flavor profiles and mouthfeel, as well as to ensure greater stability and extended shelf life. Each of the three new products in the portfolio will advance winemaking in different ways.

  • Pinnacle™ MLF Extreme excels in low pH and low-temperature conditions, enhancing fruit aromas and complexity.
  • Pinnacle™ MLF Robust is ideal for high-alcohol wines, adding red berry notes and spice with soft tannins.
  • Pinnacle™ MLF Safe is versatile, reliable and stress-tolerant across a wide range of wine types.

AB Biotek has specifically developed its Pinnacle wine ingredients range to be the winemaker’s choice for complete formulations for premium wines with minimal fuss and ease of use in the winery.

AB Biotek focuses on providing winemakers with products to enable them to consistently create the style and quality of wines their customers enjoy while developing exciting new flavors for the discerning new customers that are crucial to a winery’s success. It supplies some of the world's leading winemakers with a portfolio of oenological technology and a complete range of high-quality solutions.

Join AB Biotek at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium (Booth #708) in late January to explore these groundbreaking solutions and discuss its extensive catalog of yeasts, enzymes, bacteria, mannoproteins, fermentation aids and tannins.

Preserving Wine Aromas and Colours: Our Latest Solution to Improve Wine Longevity

We are excited to share our latest innovation in winemaking - Pinnacle FermiFresh. This 100% inactivated yeast-based nutrient is designed to enhance the aroma and colour of white and rosé wines.

Pinnacle FermiFresh offers a gradual release of amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, sterols, and other growth factors, enabling complete and safe fermentation. It's particularly effective in white reductive winemaking conditions, preserving the original varietal aromas of wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Chenin Blanc.

In rosé winemaking, Pinnacle FermiFresh's antioxidant components allow for optimal colour stabilisation, inhibiting the browning effect. Its formulation, rich in sulphur amino acids, is in granulated form for easy handling and total solubility.

Recent trials in New Zealand have shown phenomenal results. Over 50 winemakers noted wines made with FermiFresh had fresher taste, less oxidation character, more pronounced fruit flavour, and reliable performance.
Anthony Heinrich – AB Biotek Head of Global Wine commented: “AB Biotek continues to innovate, providing solutions to enhance the quality and taste of wines. With Pinnacle FermiFresh, we're offering a reliable and effective solution to preserve the aroma and colour of your wines. We're excited to see how this innovation will contribute to the art and science of winemaking going forward.
