SELECTYS® La Perla

SELECTYS® LA PERLA is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain isolated from a New World Chardonnay vineyard. It was identified by the SOFRALAB® Group’s Innovation, Research & Development department by means of a traditional selection programme assessing a series of strains for their fermentative, analytical and organoleptic performance.

SELECTYS® LA PERLA was chosen for:

• its fermentation capacity;
• its propensity to reveal lemony aromas in white
  grape varieties, promoting a fresh, fruity profile
  while retaining the elegance and roundness
  required for this profile of white wine.

• Ideal for producing Chardonnay white wines with fresh, fruity notes.
• Ensures safe fermentation with regular kinetics.
• Suitable for fermenting all varieties of white grapes.

• Fermentation kinetics : fast
• Recommended AF temperature : 14 – 18°C
• Resistance to ethanol : < 14.5% vol.
• Glycerol production : Average
• SO2 production : Average
• Production of volatile acidity : Low to medium
• H2S production : Low
• Nitrogen requirements : Low to medium

The nutritional requirements of SELECTYS® LA PERLA are low to medium depending on the matrix. However, adequate amino acid nutrition at the start of fermentation is recommended to enhance the desired aromatic profile.
