Enological benefits:
- Excellence® FR is a robust strain that produces low amounts of volatile acidity.

- It produces low amounts of standardizing fermentation esters, ensuring aromatic complexity, giving wines that are rich and with length on the palate.
- Excellence® FR is perfectly adapted to produce wines by carbonic maceration or thermovinification.
Product Applications
In difficult fermentary conditions (high Potential Alcohol, extreme temperatures, low turbidity, etc.) or for an optimal revelation of aromas, we highly recommend the use of ŒnoStim®.
With ŒnoStim®:
- Dissolve progressively ŒnoStim® (30 g/hL)* in 20 times its weight of warm water (37°C) while continuously stirring to avoid lumps formation.
- Add the selected yeast (20 g/hL)*, stir gently, and wait 20 minutes before adding the same volume of must from the tank to inoculate.
- Repeat this operation until the difference between the starter culture and the tank is less than 10°C. This step should last between 10 and 20 minutes.
- Add the yeast to the tank and mix.
*Based on the must volume to be fermented.
Without ŒnoStim®:
- Add the selected yeast in 10 times its weight of hot water (35 to 40°C) and mix gently.
- Wait 20 minutes, then add an equal volume of must from the tank to inoculate.
- Repeat this operation until the difference between the starter culture and the tank is less than 10°C. This step should last between 10 and 20 minutes.
- Add the yeast to the tank and mix.
Dosage: 20-30 g/hL.
