Premier Prestige White Wine Yeast - 5 gram

Premier Prestige White Wine Yeast - 5 gram

This strain is suitable for all whites and roses, providing an aromatic lift to all varieties and promoting thiols and terpenes in grapes with stronger varietal character. Adapted to all types of whites,roses and sparkling base wines. Premier Prestige can also be used to restart stuck fermentations. However, our recommendation is Premier Blanc as a first choice for this application.

Oenological Properties:
Premium Prestige was selected for its ability to improve the sensorial quality of all whites and roses.
Thanks to a high production of acetate esters and higher alcohols Premium Prestige is a great choice to enhance all wines, especially from neutral grapes in need of an aromatic lift such as Chardonnay.
This strain is a great choice for aromatic varieties rich in thiols (Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, Syrah rose, Grenache rose) and terpenes (Muscat, Pinot gris, Viognier, etc) because of its ability to release volatile precursors from the must, providing tropical and citrusy flavors and aromas to the wines.
Premier Prestige brings volume to the wines, helping provide roundness and hide astringency or green character in wines.
