Impacts on the expression of terpenes and thiols. Recommended for Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
LEVEL2 FLAVIA™ is a pure culture of Metschnikowia pulcherrima, selected from nature by Universitad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), for its specific capacity to release varietal aromas from precursors with its unique enzymatic activity (α-arabinofuranosidase and β-lyase). Used in sequential inoculation with a compatible selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain,LEVEL2 FLAVIA™ will impact on the production of varietal aromas such as terpenes and volatile thiols. The best results are achieved when LEVEL2 FLAVIA™ is sequentially inoculated with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain which is a high terpene / thiol releaser / converter. Suggested varieties include Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.Fermentation Speed
