FOR OPTIMAL VARIETAL EXPRESSION AND SWEET WINES
SafŒno™ UCLM S325 was selected by the Castilla La Mancha University for its ability to reinforce the structure of white wines while optimizing the expression of their character.
Still wines. Dosage: 20 g/hl
In case of musts with a high potential degree. Dosage: 20g/hl + 20g/hl of SafŒno™ BC S103 at mid fermentation (with a preliminary acclimatization).
Ingredients: yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae*), Emulsifier E491 (sorbitan monostearate).
SafŒno™ UCLM 325 sensory features
For white wines with low structures
With its high glycerol production this strain brings structure to light and low aromatic varieties (Airen, Trebbiano, Chardonnay).
For aromatic cultivars
Its ß-glycosidase activity enables the release of terpenic type varietal aromas (Malvasia, Muscat, Alvarinho, Loureiro, Riesling, Viognier, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris) but SafŒno™ UCLM S325 also gives very good results on very aromatic cultivars such as Sauvignon Blanc or Sémillon.
Above 13% vol./vol., SafŒno™ UCLM S325 metabolism may be disturbed. It is thus very well adapted for the production of sweet wines. For wine making above that degree, adequate nutrition and/or associating SafŒno™ UCLM 325 with SafŒno™ BC S103 may be beneficial to keep the aromatic potential of the variety while achieving a correct fermentation.
Use
- Gently pour the desired quantity of yeast in 10 times its weight of tap water at 30-35°C in a wide vessel. Pay attention to cover all the water surface area by creating a thin layer of yeast.
- Leave to rest for 20 minutes.
- Gently stir to complete yeast rehydration while avoiding the formation of lumps prior acclimatization.
- Double progressively the volume of the yeast suspension by adding must from the tank while stirring the mix so that the temperature of the yeast starter decreases and yeast activation starts.
- Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Homogenize and incorporate the yeast starter in the fermentation tank during a pumping over with aeration
SafŒno™ UCLM 325 technical features
→ Rapid fermentation start
→ Good fermentation strength on clarified musts
→ Alcohol tolerance: Not recommended above 13% vol./vol. without adequate nutrition
→ Strong nitrogen requirement: In a must whose available nitrogen is between 150 & 180 mg/L, this strain requires at least 2 nitrogen supplies (20 g/hl DAP + 20 g/hl Springferm™ at yeast inoculation and 20g/hl DAP or Springferm™ between third and mid fermentation)
→ Fermentation temperature: 12 to 35°C.
→ Sugar/Alcohol yield: 16.5 g/L for 1% vol./vol.
→ Low production of volatile acidity, SO2 and acetaldehyde (less than 24 mg/L)
→ High glycerol production: 10 g/L
→ ß-glycosidase activity increasing the aromatic potential of terpenic varieties.
- 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.
