Product details

LEVEL2 SALVA™ is a non-fermentative wine yeast selected from nature with the South African Grape and Wine Research Institute (Stellenbosch University) for its specific bioprotection properties against Brettanomyces spp. This original strain of Suhomyces pyralidae produces the “Brettanomyces Inhibition Factor” (Spkt1), which creates disruptions in Brettanomyces spp. cell walls.
