UVAFERM BDX™
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae)
Reliable strain, minimum colour loss, enhanced flavour & aroma with underlying complexity makes this yeast suited to most medium to full bodied red styles.
A French isolate used extensively in Australia and California since the late 1980s, UVAFERM BDX™ is suitable for premium red wines and is highly recommended for Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Grenache, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Petite Syrah. UVAFERM BDX™ is associated with varietal flavour enhancement of red wines, adding considerable complexity without dominating the wine with yeast produced aroma and flavour compounds. Exhibits moderate red colour extractive and stability properties.
