The Schiz. pombe G2 strain metabolized nearly all of the malic acid but the resulting wines had higher levels of ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde when compared with EC-1118 fermented must. Although no obvious off odor was detected, the judges found the Schiz. pombe and EC-1118 fermented wines to be different.
