Ideal for wines produced in big quantity. Production of young wines. Production of high alcohol white and red wines, in which the winemaker wants to keep freshness and varietal aromas while controlling fermentation temperature. Pasteur Champagne is one of the best strains to avoid sluggish fermentation and to restart stuck ones with remaining residual sugars thanks to its ability to assimilate fructose and to resist to alcohol. Recommended for the production of sparkling wines processed by traditional or Charmat methods.
- Yeast Strain: Saccharomyces bayanus
Particularly strong yeast strain with a very high alcohol tolerance (> 16% vol.) Low volatile acidity and acetaldehyde production. Good resistance to low temperature fermentation (14°C). Low nutrient requirements (nitrogen and fatty acids).
