For intensely fruity white and rosé wines
SafŒno™ HD A54 has been created through a Lesaffre R&D yeast hybridization program. This work aimed to overexpress fermentative floral and fruity higher alcohols and their corresponding acetate esters while keeping a clean fermentation profile for light young wines.
Dosage for still white and rosé wines: 20-30 g/hl, straight after settling
Ingredients: yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces bayanus), emulsifier: E491 (sorbitan monostearate)
SafŒno™ HD A54 sensory features
For technological white and rosé wines with strong amylic notes
Due to its extraordinary high production of isoamyl alcohol / isoamyl acetate and 2-phenylethanol / 2-phenylethyl acetate, SafŒno™ HD A54 is bringing to your wines intense fruitiness towards banana, candy and strawberry notes.
Its capabilities to maintain high total acidity and to bring roundness and sweetness is interesting to keep a very gourmet balance.
For blending bases
The moderate production of ethyl esters by this strain combined with a very high isoamyl acetate production, acting as a flavor enhancer, allows to systematically strengthen the aromatic intensity of the wine, particularly on fermentative notes. It makes this strain a really good tool to value neutral bases or to bring complexity to aromatic bases. This property leads as well to remove green aromas due to early picked grapes for delightful wines.
Considering its low SO2 production, this strain is particularly suitable for low SO2 content wines and favor malolactic fermentations.
SafŒno™ HD A54 will help winemakers adding value to their young and non-varietal wines.

- 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.
