Features and Benefits

Formulation: Active dry yeasts – Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Enological benefits:

  • Excellence® SP is one of the first strains on the market produced through breeding. It produces fruity and fresh red wines, with notes of spices.
  • This strain is suited for producing mid-range wines, with short or medium maturation time, offering roundness and length on the palate.
  • Excellence® SP implants quickly in the must and produces low amounts of volatile acidity.
  • Due to its low production of inhibitory compounds (SO2 and medium chain fatty acids), it is highly compatible with malolactic bacteria.

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 lump formation. Then, 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 be inoculated. 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.
