Product details
RUBY™ has been selected through an innovative microbiological approach and presents unique characteristics related to its beta lyase activity. Due to this specific metabolism, RUBY™ has an exceptional potential to release volatile red thiols in red wines. Combining those distinctive properties and very robust and reliable alcoholic fermentation performance, RUBY™ is well suited for the production of intense, fresh and complex red wines. Wines fermented with RUBY™ show flavor profiles described as blackcurrant, gooseberry, plums, spices and some refreshing herbal notes, RUBY™ also favors fine tannic structure and volume with a long aftertaste.
