is a non- yeast that has a powerful impact on the sensory profile of wines. Its effect on the aromatic profile of non-aromatic grape varieties, such as Albillo Mayor (, L), during vinification is a useful biotechnology to improve sensory complexity. Fermentation in steel barrels using and sequential inoculation with have been used to study the formation of terpenes and cell lysis in the production of Albillo white wines.

Additionally, a high pH makes wines more chemically and microbiologically unstable, requiring a higher sulphite content for preservation. Some strains of can naturally lower the pH of wine by producing lactic acid from sugars; this pH reduction can reach 0.

However, the autolytic process is slow, resulting in high production costs. This work evaluated the effect of adding sonicated lees and combining it with oak chips, as a new technique to accelerate the AOL process and improve the aromatic quality of aged red wine.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAgeing on lees (AOL) is a technique that increases volatile compounds, promotes colour stability, improves mouthfeel and reduces astringency in red wines. The main drawback is that it is a slow process. Several months are necessary to obtain perceptible effects in wines.
