The New Zealand Winegrowers International Winemaking Guide 6th edition has had a profound impact on the usage of fermentation aids in the country.
If a New Zealand winery intends to export it’s wine to the EU any fermentation aids used must adhere to the new standards similar to those of the OIV.
This change rules out many of the industries staples but produces an opportunity for higher quality and more effective fermentation aids like Mauriferm Plus.
Mauriferm Plus is a unique fermentation aid containing inactive dry yeast, thiamine and di-ammonium phosphate. Developed and made in Australia this product is recommended for improving fermentation and the materials used in its production are approved by the OIV and New Zealand Winegrowers.
“Mauriferm products use a higher grade of ingredients than many of our competitors.” Says Dane Scerri of AB Mauri.
“We produce the inactive yeast at our own facility, under our supervision and use the nutrition of the entire cell. Many other fermentation aids opt for the cheaper hulls or cells walls from the waste end of the plant. I think the New Zealand winemakers will recognize the benefits when the make the switch.”
