Review: Reliable - Reliable yeast for wine.
Review: Wine yeast - Great for wine making

## Features

- INCLUDES: 5 Packs (5 g sachets) of Red Star Premier Rouge wine yeast
- Manufactured by Fermentis (Lesaffre) and Distributed by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.
- This strain guarantees a fast start of the fermentation process, good alcohol resistance (till 15% vol.), complete and regular fermentation kinetic (within 17-30°C / 64-86°F), low volatile acidity and acetaldehyde production under suitable nutritional conditions.
- Strain able to improve the softness and the roundness of full-bodied wines thanks to the valorisation of the lightest tannins. Varietal strain adapted to the vinification of Bordeaux grapes: development of “cut herbs” like aromas with Cabernet Sauvignon and “ripen fruits” like aromas with Merlot. Adapted to international market requirements by producing full bodied red wines poor in astringency, production of complex aromas which combined with oak flavors to create a very original organoleptic profile, what can bring character to the lightest wines.
- WINE STYLES: Recommended for the vinifications of high-quality red wines aged in oak barrels. Particularly adapted to the production of red wines from Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz grape families and to all full-bodied wines. For long maceration processes with grapes rich in astringent tannins.
- DOSAGE: 5g Sachet Makes 20 - 23L; ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: Up to 15%; FERMENTATION TEMPERATURE RANGE: 17-30°C (64-86°F).
- USAGE: The rehydration time should be between 20 to 25 minutes. This strain should be rehydrated in ten times its weight of sugared water or in a mixture of one-third of must and two-thirds of water. The mixture temperature should be 38/40°C (100/104°F). Stir during 20 minutes. Slowly sprinkle the culture media into 3 times the weight of the must in order for the yeasts to adapt to their new fermentation media (temperature difference, osmotic pressure, SO2), then wait for 10 minutes. This mixture can be added directly into the fermentation tank with uniform mixing. The difference of temperature between the rehydrated yeast and the tank should not exceed 10°C, optimum being 5°C.
- STORAGE: Shelf life of unopened vacuum pack at room temperature (20°C, 68°F) is up to 2 years. If kept refrigerated (4°C, 45°F), shelf life will exceed 2 years. After opening, use within 4 weeks. Store an opened package tightly sealed, under refrigeration, removing as much air as possible.
