GREY MOULD INFECTION IN WINE

Botrytis cinerea is a very common fungal parasite in winemaking, where it is generally called grey rot or grey mould. This disease causes serious damage for wine growers and to develop requires high levels of humidity and poor air circulation.

A Botrytis cinerea infection lowers the quality of the wine, leading to unwanted earthy odours, a decrease in acidity and change in colour. Grapes with Botrytis bunch rot are affected by oxidasic enzymes, laccase in particular, which oxidises numerous phenolic compounds such as polyphenols, anthocyanins and catechins, due to the polymerisation of quinones. Moreover, through the production of polysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides, the fungus can cause clarification problems and clogging of the filter cartridges.

To combat the effect of the polyphenoloxidases (tyrosinase - laccase) in the must, we have Endozym Antibotrytis, a purified enzymatic preparation that, on the one hand, preserves the aromatic precursors and the colouring matter, on the other.
