Description

MaloTabs – Lallemand Direct-Add Malolactic Bacteria in Tablet Form

Simplifies malolactic inoculation with pre-measured, direct-add tablets
Promotes reliable MLF in red, white, or rosé wines without rehydration
Contains highly active Oenococcus oeni for fast and complete fermentation
Ideal for use in barrels or small tanks where standard rehydration is impractical
Same trusted performance as Lallemand freeze-dried cultures, with added convenience

MaloTabs are a convenient tablet-format malolactic bacteria product from Lallemand, designed to simplify the inoculation process, particularly in barrels and small vessels. Each tablet contains a carefully measured dose of a high-performing Oenococcus oeni strain, ensuring strong malic acid degradation even in challenging conditions. Unlike traditional freeze-dried MLF cultures, MaloTabs require no rehydration or mixing. They dissolve directly into wine, saving time and reducing the risk of contamination. Wines inoculated with MaloTabs benefit from shorter lag times and cleaner fermentations, leading to wines with better microbial stability and smoother sensory profiles.

Protocol
Simply add MaloTabs directly into the wine. They are designed to dissolve gradually and begin colonizing the environment as soon as they are hydrated by the wine. Add at the end of alcoholic fermentation, once the wine is dry and within a suitable temperature range (typically 18–22°C). No rehydration or stirring is required. Use immediately after opening and avoid splitting tablets.

Usage Rates
Recommended dosage:
1 tablet per 225 L (59 gal) barrel
= approximately 4.44 tablets per 1,000 L
= approximately 16.9 tablets per 1,000 gal

Use one full tablet per standard wine barrel or follow manufacturer guidelines for larger formats. MaloTabs are best suited for wines with a pH above 3.2, alcohol levels below 14.5%, and free SO₂ under 15 ppm at the time of inoculation. For wines with higher alcohol or lower pH, consider nutrient support or alternative inoculation strategies.
