Yeast VIN-O-FERM Chardonnay 0.5kg

General Features

VINOFERM® CHARDONNAY has been specially selected for the production of wines belonging to the Chardonnay and Pinot varietal groups, for example for Grey-friendly wines. The yeast emphasizes the typical characteristics of the above grape varieties, as well as their aroma and flavor harmony, making it an ideal choice for fermentation in barrique barrels. VINOFERM® CHARDONNAY guarantees regular fermentation, effectively breaks down sugars during the first fermentation.

This species of yeast is particularly resistant to alcohol, so it is recommended for making classic and tank champagnes, as well as sparkling wines, and is also ideal for restarting the fermentation process.

Technological and Quality Features

• Short incubation time: The fermentation process starts quickly.
• Weak sulfite production: Minimal sulfur content in the wine.
• Regular fermentation: Stable and controlled fermentation process.
• Low production of oleic fatty acids: <0.15 g/l (H2SO4), which favors the quality of the wine.
• Fermentation temperature: works optimally at temperatures between 8 and 30°C.
• Weak foaming during tank fermentation: Reduced foam formation.
• Sugar/alcohol conversion: 16.2 g/l sugar content results in 1 tf% alcohol content.

• Good resistance to SO2: Stability in the presence of sulfur dioxide.
