Avante is a H2S-preventing wine yeast that is ideal for red wines. This yeast produces an intense fruit overture followed by a mild spiciness and a smooth tannin finish.
Good mid-palate fullness with color and flavor stability. The strain ferments at a moderate tempo and performs well in medium nitrogen musts.
Avante is able to bring out differentiated varietal aromas by bringing out the rich concentrated flavors found in varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah and Sangiovese. Can also be used in the production of Chardonnay, and produces minimal Sulphur compounds and contains no wheat binders.
Avante is formerly called Andante.
