Vitilevure 58W3 50g to 10kg

Vitilevure 58W3™: For Alsatian style aromatic whites. For gewurztraminer and pinot gris.

58W3 was isolated, studied and selected during a five-year research project by the INRA in Colmar (Alsace), France in collaboration with Martin Vialatte Oenology and Gresser Oenology. The goal of this selection program was to find dominant natural yeast that would enhance spicy, floral and fruit descriptors in aromatic white varietals such as Gewürztraminer and Pinot gris. Unique to the 58W3 is its ability to contribute an overall well-balanced mouthfeel and minimize the development of bitter compounds that are associated with more basic ‘work horse’ -type yeast yeasts. Due to its fermentation kinetics, especially in high potential alcohol juices, a balanced nutrient strategy and good fermentation practices should be followed.
