In this episode of The Wine Lab, we swirl through the science of malolactic fermentation (MLF), the process that can soften wine and elevate complexity, but also invite spoilage and instability, especially in high pH wines. We break down what MLF actually is, why winemakers use it, when they avoid it, and how to manage its benefits and risks with precision.

Perfect for winemakers, wine students, and curious wine lovers.
