Description

A yeast strain that really brings out aromatic components in white wines, especially Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Viognier and Semillion. Also a great choice for mead fermenations where it has a significant aroma/flavor input. Specifically Fruity/Floral aromas are emphasized through the natural liberation of terpenes found in these varieties. What we think is particularly unique about this strain is the creation of smoky/spicy aromas. Also selected as a commercial yeast strain for its ability to create mouthfeel volume and richness. So to recap - fruity/floral/smoky/spicy aromas and flavors with good mouthfeel... where do we sign up! Lallemand recommends adding Go-Ferm during rehydration and Fermaid K to the ferment to ensure that this strain ferments to dryness.

Works beautifully for high ABV mead. Tolerates high ABV and also tolerates warmer than optimal temperatures

It's Voracious! So Far So Good
I'm a beekeeper making some cyser using Ken Schramm's "Fall's Bounty" recipe, with ingredient quantities interpolated for a 6-gallon batch. I used the TOSNA 2.0 calculator to determine Fermaid-O nutrient requirements and, honestly, I don't think this yeast needs any support. I rehydrated with 22.5g Go-Ferm in 450 ml ( I used 16g because I've never used this yeast before) and it had a beer head on it after 15 minutes. I pitched it and it took off. I can clearly hear fermentation from a room away - I thought it was raining. Hit 65% sugar break in 4 days (with OG at 1.1000SG). The aroma and taste on day 4 makes me wish I could stop the fermentation :) I'll try to figure out how to update the post but so far so good. I picked this yeast because I'm a fan of using yeast used for Gewürztraminer wines for meads.

Great results with 58W3 yeast with off-dry white wines.
After fermenting gewurztraminer, gewurz/riesling blends or similar whites with 58W3 balance your wine with citric acid (I like to dissolve citric acid first with a little hot water). Balance the sweetness so the taste is crisp and nicely balanced not too dry or too sweet. Be prepared to repeat balancing 2 or 3 times about 2 weeks apart - let the acidity & sweetness blend together.

Great for cider and hybrid white
This will be my 4th year using this yeast for hard cider and Phoenix white hybrid wine. I think it's an excellent cider yeast - accentuating the fruit flavors, and have used it in a blend with RH4600 for the hybrid white grape Phoenix. I used a Champagne yeast one year for the cider and everyone asked me to go back to 58W3.

Just what I wanted for pinot grigio
Just what I wanted. I like this a lot in pinot grigio when using a second strain. I prefer to blend with d-47 half and half after cold stabilization just before bottling. Had very good results using this from Chilean juice last year I will try replocating that in a larger batch this spring.
