Ingredients: yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae*), Emulsifier: E491 (sorbitan monostearate)

SafŒno™ CK S102 sensory features

Contributes to the organoleptic profile of aromatic cultivars

SafŒno™ CK S102 encourages the expression of fruity thiols of aromatic cultivars like Sauvignon Blanc, Gros and Petit Mangeng. This advantage also makes it a yeast of choice to produce varietal rosés with a great aromatic finesse from cultivars like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. It reinforces the aromatic potential of terpenic cultivars like Muscat, Gewürztraminer and Riesling.

Promotion of neutral varieties

Thanks to its high ester production, SafŒno™ CK S102 is an ideal choice to value neutral grape varieties to obtain white and fruity rosés wines with different aroma profiles depending on the fermentation temperature.

On Ugni Blanc, Chardonnay…
SafŒno™ CK S102 enables the production of wine with an important aromatic strength and great freshness. It is the ideal strain for Vinho Verde type wines.
SafŒno™ CK S102 gives optimal results when it is associated to Springarom®, an inactivated yeast rich in antioxidant substances.

  • Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvement lead to obtain an exceptional quality of dry yeasts able to resist to a very wide range of use, cold or no rehydration included, without affecting their viability, kinetic and/or analytical profile.Winemakers can choose usage conditions that fit the best their needs, i.e.:
    • Direct inoculation: Pour the yeast on the surface of at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after settling for whites and rosés). Gently stir to avoid or break clumps. Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume).
    • With prior rehydration: Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature. Gently stir to avoid or break clumps. Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration.
