VINOFERM Malic Acid Malox – 1 kg

Malic acid comes in powder form and allows you to increase the acidity of must or wine in a precise and controlled way. It provides a livelier, fruitier acidity, particularly useful for adjusting flavour balance or correcting a lack of freshness.

A dose of 9 g per 10 litres increases total acidity by approximately 1 g/L.

Understanding acidity units:

The acidity of must or wine can be expressed using two references:

• - As tartaric acid (the most common standard in oenology)
• - As sulfuric acid (often used in French technical texts)

The two scales are linked by a simple factor:

• - Acidity as sulfuric acid = acidity as tartaric acid ÷ 1.53
• - Acidity as tartaric acid = acidity as sulfuric acid × 1.53

This conversion makes it easy to compare measurements, whichever reference is used.

What is it used for?

• - Adjusting the acidity of a wine that is too soft or flat
• - Enhancing aromatic freshness
• - Correcting must before fermentation
• - Stabilising the flavour profile of a young wine
