Product documentation
FAQ
CAUDALYS™ is the first wine yeast fraction from non-Saccharomyces ever released on the market. It is produced from Torulaspora delbrueckii wine yeast using Lallemand’s exclusive SDC production process, resulting in a highly specific yeast derivative designed for sensory enhancement in wines.
CAUDALYS™ enhances crispness, saline and mineral notes, while improving aromatic length and freshness. These sensory contributions are particularly valued in white and rosé wines, where precision, vibrancy and persistence are key drivers of wine style and consumer preference.
Depending on your winemaking objectives, CAUDALYS™ can be added both in musts (at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation) and wines.
• In musts: 10 to 30 g/hL
• In wines: 5 to 15 g/hL
