The Story
Alcohol tolerance and fermentation performance are key attributes of this yeast. Contributes to aroma, structure and colour stability in quality red wines for warm to hot regions.
Given its tolerance to high alcohol, this yeast is recommended for the fermentation of high sugar red wines. Not only are its environmental parameters conducive to reliability under these conditions, it contributes to wine quality by enhancing varietal aroma expression, contributing to tannin structure and maintaining a high colour intensity.
- Ferment vigour: High
- Relative nitrogen demand: Medium – high
- Alcohol tolerance: 18%
- Minimum temperature: 15°C
- Maximum temperature: 28°C
- SO2 production: Moderate
- Best for: Merlot, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Shiraz, Tempranillo
