“…Normally MLF is used for red wine production as the next step in red wine technology (Volschenk, Van Vuuren, & Viljoen‐Bloom, 2006) and very often is used specifically for the deacidification step for special types of wines, for example, Vinho Verde , wines typical for Portugal (Genisheva, Mussatto, Oliveira, & Teixeira, 2013) or sparkling wines. Additionally, the implementation of MLF is important for wines produced in cold regions because it reduces the acidity, brings microbial stability, and may improve the organoleptic characteristics of the product (Bartowsky & Borneman, 2011; Coucheney et al., 2005; Cruz‐Pio, Poveda, Alberto, Ferrer, & Pardo, 2017; Genisheva et al., 2013; González‐Arenzana et al., 2017; Lu et al., 2017; Redzepovic et al., 2003).…”
