Tartaric acid is the other major grape acid, along with malic acid. Unlike malic acid, the concentration of tartaric acid does not decline markedly during grape ripening. In addition, tartaric acid is metabolized by few microorganisms. Thus, it is usually the preferred acid added to increase the acidity of high pH wines. Regrettably, this carries the risk of increasing bitartrate instability.
