• Nutritional requirements are different for bacteria than for yeast. Unlike yeast, bacteria can neither store nor synthesize all essential amino acids required for growth. Therefore nutrients must be available from the environment.
  
  
• Post alcoholic fermentation wines can often be nutrient deficient due to nutrient utilization by yeast… and yeast are often slow to lyse and release nutrients back into the wines after fermentation.
  
  
• Nutritional depletion can stall or cause sluggish malolactic fermentations. Nutrient supplementation during the bacterial inoculation can enhance the growing conditions and speed the malolactic fermentation.
  
  

Gusmer's MicroEssentials Oenos is strongly recommended for wines that present challenging conditions, such as high S0_2, high alcohol, low pH.
