(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Product details
ANCHOR ALCHEMY II is a scientifically formulated blend of wine yeast strains. It has been developed in collaboration with the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). This Alchemy blend enhances volatile thiols (boxwood, passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry and guava aromas) in white wines. This effect is the result of the synergistic action of the specific yeast strains that release and convert the volatile thiols. The ratio of the yeast strains in the blend as been scientifically formulated to provide this optimum aromatic profile. It is recommended for vinifying white grape varieties such as Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, Chenin blanc and Verdehlo.
