Used to introduce malolactic fermentation in wine, causing the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid. Side effects include the production of diacetyl compounds that give the wine complexity and desirable aromas, and the reduction of total acidity. Usually used on Chardonnay and highly flavoured red wines. Consult a good winemaking textbook if you are unsure about using it.
