Features and Benefits

Formulation: Active dry yeast – Saccharomyces cerevisiae + E491.

Enological benefits:

  • Excellence® FINISHER is a specific strain to restart alcoholic fermentation. It was developed through a selection project in partnership with the ISVV of Bordeaux using breeding techniques.
  • The restart of alcoholic fermentation is a delicate process that requires an adapted strain. Excellence® FINISHER combines a strong fructophilic capacity and very good fermentative resistance. These abilities ensure optimal yeast metabolism in the challenging environment of a stopped wine.
  • Excellence® FINISHER allows for a rapid restart of alcoholic fermentation, even with low residual sugar concentrations (down to 3 g/L) and high acquired alcohol rates (up to 16% vol.).
  • Thanks to the new Lamothe-Abiet® fermentation restart protocol, the time before final inoculation is reduced, decreasing the risks of organoleptic deviations and providing more convenience for the winemaker.

Product Applications

To successfully restart alcoholic fermentation, Excellence® FINISHER must be used according to a precise protocol. Consult our Lamothe-Abiet restart alcoholic fermentation protocol directly on our website.

We highly recommend the use of Œnostim® (30 g/hL) during the rehydration step to optimize the yeast’s metabolism.

Dosage: 30-40 g/hL depending on the difficulty to restart the wine stopped (residual sugars).
