What does this mean?

FOR ELEGANT AND FRESH TERPENIC WHITE WINES

SafŒno™ HD T18 has been created through a Lesaffre R&D yeast hybridization program. This work aimed to select a yeast strain particularly suitable for the expression of varietal terpenic aromas with a nice mouthfeel balance and clean fermentation profile.

Dosage for still white wines: 20 g/hl

SafŒno™ HD T18 sensory features

For fresh and complex terpenic white wine

SafŒno™ HD T18 increases the aromatic potential of terpenic varieties such as Muscat, Viognier, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris… thanks to terpenols and β-damascenone release supported by a balanced production of acetate & ethyl esters, which strengthens wines’ complexity. It particularly enhances fresh floral and citrus fruit notes.

Its clean fermentation profile towards undesirable metabolites combined to its aromatic properties gives to the winemaker a tool to elaborate fresh varietal and complex white wines.

→ Favors high terpenol release and maintenance

  • 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.
