Typically a blend of tartaric, malic and citric acids in a 40-40-20 ratio. Its addition is not recommended today as frequently as in the past, mainly because it adds quantities if citric acid that are in excess of that usually found in grapes and grape must. The result of excessive citric adid in wine that is subjected to malolactic fermentation (MLF) is the production of excessive quantities
