I have a passion about life, wines included. Being the sales & marketing manager of Quinta do Casal Branco, a portuguese winery estate, I have the lucky of traveling around the world, making friends and taste some of the best nectars. Sometimes I could dye so happy!
I have a question to you on the reasoning behind some Portughese reds stopping malolactic fermentation. A guide of red wines, that were tested at a consumer magazine over in your country, detected that about half had not concluded the malolactic fermentation. That... they hinted... was done intentionally to meet some criteria (prevent too much acidity, or other things), so they admitted... for some reason... it was stopped. As this malo is a natural process, to intervene often means either chill filtering, sulfur, acidifying ( in order to lower high pH), and so on. Any thoughts or enlightenment you can provide us on this side of the pond as to why, how etc.?
