Lulo and wine yeast are added during this stage. The lulo sugars provide sweetness and tropical flavors. Wine yeast enhances fermentation efficiency, producing aromatic compounds that add complexity and depth. The combination creates a vibrant flavour profile with notes of ripe lulo, pineapple, and wine-like undertones. \u003cbr\u003eLulo, also known as naranjilla, is a tropical fruit native to Colombia, Ecuador, and parts of Central America.
