SELECTYS® La Cerevisiae

SELECTYS® LA CEREVISIAE is an Active Dry Yeast (ADY) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, selected in France by INRA in Narbonne. SELECTYS® LA CEREVISIAE is a very vigorous strain offering steady, safe and full fermentations. It conserves varietal characteristics and brings body and suppleness to wines. SELECTYS® LA CEREVISIAE is appreciated in the production of base wines for sparkling wine making.

SELECTYS® LA CEREVISIAE has a short lag phase and achieves fast and steady fermentations.
It is particularly recommended:

• for the fermentation of clear musts (that have been well clarified or filtered),
• when the potential alcohol content is high,
• for the production of supple wines with character,
• to facilitate MLF where desired.

It has the ability to reduce malic acid by up to 30% of its original amount in certain conditions.
