Red Star – Premier Prestige

Selected by Fermentis by Lesaffre for its remarkable aromatic profile and it’s great fermentation abilities for wine makers, Premier Prestige is suitable for all whites and rosés, providing an aromatic lift to all varieties and promoting thiols and terpenes in grapes with stronger varietal character.

Because of its ability to release volatile precursor from the must, it provides tropical and citrusy (passionfruit, grapefruit) flavors and aroma to the wines.

Grape Varieties

This yeast is adapted for neutral grapes needing an aromatic enhancement such as Chardonnay or Grenache. But it’s also a great choice for aromatic varieties rich in thiols – Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, Syrah rosé – and terpenes – Pinot gris, Muscat.

Directions

No rehydration needed. Inoculate the desired quantity of yeast directly into the must. Dosage: One 5 g sachet per 5 gal (19L) batch
