BURGUNDER - ACTIVE YEAST 8 |
- This
is a dry, pure culture yeast especially formulated for fermenting red
wine mashes and red wine musts.
- It
is highly recommended for fermenting wine types such as Burgundy, Shiraz,
Portuguese, Cabernet France, Cabernet Sauvignon, Port and other red
wine varieties.
- restricts
the fading of colour of red grape musts (reduces the colour absorption
of the yeast during fermentation).
- selected
over years for red wines with a typical character
- very
rapid fermentation start
- little
formation of unwanted fermentation side products (such as sO2, H2O,
acetaldehyde, pyruvic acid, volatiles and esters
- produces
up to 16 vol % alcohol.

Lalvin EC-1118 is the
original and is good for barrel fermentations. It ferments well at low
temperatures and flocculates well with very compact lees. Under low nutrients
conditions, Lalvin EC-1118 produces a lot of SO2 (up to 30 ppm) and as
a result can inhibit malolactic fermentation. It is classified as a Saccharomyces
cerevisiae bayanus.
- Used
extensively in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa for
both red and white wines.
- Used
in th production of sparkling wines
- EC118 is a yeast
which will often ensure completion of fermentation even when mishandled
in the winery

ENOFERM/Strain
BDX |
- A French Isolate
deposited with the Pasteur Institute. A copy of this yeast was introduced
into the Californian wine industry and after many years of successful
use an isolate was included in the UC Davis culture collection as UCD-725.
- Enoferm Bordeaux
red is an isolate of UCD-725
- Used
extensively throughout the world, for production of premium red wines.
- Particularly useful
for Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz,Merlot and Cabernet Franc
- Vigorous fermenter
and will complete fermentation to 16%
- Will enhance red
wines adding considerable complexity without dominating the wine with
yeast produced aroma
- Provides very good
colour extraction
- Highly recommended
fro Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc.

Selected
in Portugal by the University of Tras os Monetes e Alto Douro (UTAD)
in cooperation with the Viticultural Commission of the Region Vinhos
Verdes
- Recommended
for the production of white wines where fresh, fruity clean wines
are required.
- In Portugal
and Europe QA23 is considered among the best strains to produce
white wine easy to drink with delicate perfume and clean palate.
- In France QA23
was first introduced to produce wines for the English and German
markets.
- Optimum fermentation
temp 15 to 32C. It will ferment at 10C where temp control is employed
by the winemaker to control the rate of sugar catabolism.
- It has the ability
to ferment juice with low nutrient content.
- This property
makes QA23 very suitable for many white wines.
- Low foaming
and fast settling to clarity

Lalvin DV 10 |
- Champagne selection for primary and secondary fermentation
DV10 was selected by the SOEC in the Champagne region and is approved by
the CIVC in Epernay.
- DV10 has strong
fermentation kinetics over a wide temperature range and relatively
low nitrogen demands. DV10 is famous for its ability to ferment under
stressful conditions of low pH, high total SO2 and low temperature.
Low foaming and low VA production characterize it.
- DV10 is considered
a clean fermenter that respects varietal character and avoids bitter
sensory contributions of other one-dimensional ‘workhorse’ yeasts
such as Prise de Mousse. It is classified as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae
bayanus.

FERMAID¨ YEAST
NUTRIENT
|
- FERMAID¨is
a nutrient mixture prepared to supplement nutrients in grape juice
to ensure a rapid onset of yeast growth and completion of fermentation.
- Fermaid
contains autolysed yeast which have been grown to contain high concentrations
of amino acids mixed with di-ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulphate,
thiamine, folic acid, niacin and calcium pantothenate.
- Addition
of Fermaid to yeast fermentations can assist in avoiding slow or stuck
fermentations.
- Developed
for commercial application,it is also particularly valuable for the
balanced fermentation of fruit based winemaking recipes in the home
winemaking field. (most home winemaking books recommend di ammonium
phosphate as a yeast nutrient....Fermaid contributes a more complex
balanced blend of essential acids and enzymes)
- When
used as directed Fermaid will not contribute any aroma or flavour to
the wine.
