TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype

Regular kinetic

Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)

Very low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) > 0.7

Very good assimilation of fructose

Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 125mg/L

High malic acid consumption (up to 1.5 g/L)

Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer.

Amylic notes can be enhanced especially when YAN/Sugar >1
