-
Very good settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype
-
Regular to fast kinetic
-
Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)
-
Low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) > 0.7 – 0.8
-
Good assimilation of fructose
-
Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 100mg/L and low production of acetaldehyde and SO2
-
Medium malic acid consumption (up to 0.9g/L)

Direct inoculation:
-
Pour the yeast on the surface of at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after clarification).
-
Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
-
Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume).
With prior rehydration:
-
Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature.
-
Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
-
Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration.
