PREMIUM RED WINE YEAST
Y-RW01
A red wine yeast with very good alcohol tolerance and excellent fermentation kinetics, promoting well-structured wines with good body, complex tannins, and expressive varietal fruit character. This yeast confers dark berry, spice and coffee aromatics and is ideal for producing a range of high-quality wines from grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Merlot.
Net Weight: 500g
Dosage and Application
The optimum pitch rate for this strain is between 0.2-0.4 g/L, but higher rates may be required if using under difficult fermentation conditions.
To rehydrate the yeast, rehydrate in 10 times its weight of clean boiled water at 30-35°C. Do exceed 30 minutes of rehydration as times above this can be detrimental to yeast viability. When pitching yeast into wort, the temperature difference between rehydration and wort should not be over 10°C.
This strain can ferment within the range 10-35°C but best results are achieved when a temperature between 20°C and 30°C is maintained.
