Product details

A yeast selected from the Pasteur Institute Yeast Culture Collection, UVAFERM BC™ is a French wine region isolate that has been used in winemaking since the early 1960’s. Suited for a wide range of winemaking applications, particularly for production of fresh and fruity white wine styles, as well as early release fruit driven red wines and wines made by carbonic maceration. UVAFERM BC™ is known to produce varying amounts of the ester amyl acetate. A clean fermenter that enhances the varietal character of the fruit. Can degrade up to 45% L-malic acid.

Wine bacteria biodiversity driving sensory profiles of red and whites wines

Wine bacteria have a more considerable impact on the wine sensory profile than previously thought. New findings have shown that the genetic diversity within the wine bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is very rich, and that it can have implications on how the wine bacteria perform, especially in terms of revelation of aroma compounds and wine […]

Relationships between the wine yeast inoculation method and the composition and sensory profile of wines

By F. Bordet, C. Raynal, A. Ortiz-Julien, A. Silvano, J.M. Heras, A. Dumont Wine yeasts play a crucial role in the winemaking process and are essential to induce and achieve alcoholic fermentation (AF). Different options are available to winemakers, including spontaneous fermentation or fermentations with the use of selected wine yeast. This latter option offers […]
