Selected by Fermentis by Lesaffre for its remarkable aromatic profile and its great fermentation abilities for winemakers. Premier Prestige is suitable for all whites and roses, providing an aromatic lift to all varieties and promoting thiols and terpenes in grapes with stronger varietal character.
Because of its ability to release volatile precursors from the must, it provides tropical and citrusy (passion fruit, grapefruit) flavors and aromas to the wines.
Grape Varieties
This yeast is adapted for neutral grapes needing an aromatic enhancement such as Chardonnay or Grenache. But it’s also a great choice for aromatic varieties rich in thiols – Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, Syrah rosé – and terpenes – Pinot gris, Muscat.
Usage
No rehydration needed! Inoculate the desired quantity of yeast directly into the must in the fermentation tank and homogenize the entire volume.
Dosage: One sachet for 25L – 5 Gallons of must
