Product details

The ITV, in collaboration with Lallemand, selected UVAFERM SVG™ from the Loire region specifically for the enhancement of typical Sauvignon blanc varietal character, diminished acidity and good fermentation kinetics. UVAFERM SVG™ will metabolize roughly 25% of the malic acid, helping to naturally lower acidity. In tastings of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé wines fermented with different yeasts, those fermented with UVAFERM SVG™ scored higher than the wines fermented with other yeasts commonly used for Sauvignon blanc. These Sauvignon blanc wines were described as having more intensity and a better balance of mineral, citrus and spicy notes. UVAFERM SVG™ is also recommended for aromatic white varieties, such as Riesling or Pinot gris.

The use of direct inoculation yeast is less effective and safe than rehydrated yeast

Since the development of active dry yeasts for wine in the 70’s, to get the best of them, the best practice has been to rehydrate them in water at 37 °C for a short time, before inoculation of the juice or must to be fermented. However, there is a new trend for so-called “direct inoculation” […]
