Malolactic fermentation in fruit wine making

[RotGut76]

Can Malolactic fermentation be used to make fruit/country wines or is it just a grape wine situation?

As long as the fruit that you are using contains malic acid, yes. Some country or fruit wines benefit from a nice crisp taste that malic can add to them.

Some fruit that contain Malic acid are:
Apples, nectarines, watermelon, pineapple, apricots, gooseberries, raspberries, cherries, lemons, grapes, prickly pears, mangoes, kiwi fruits, strawberries, blackberries and even tomatoes.

Here is a list that I found online that list the Natural acids in fruit and vegetables

I'm doing MLF on a blackberry wine that I have on the go and it is doing great!

Hmmm... this could be interesting.

Anyone know if there are recipes/methods posted here using MLF?
