Product details

UVAFERM WAM™ was isolated and selected by the University of Palencia in 1998 (Faculty of Oenology), Spain. It is a yeast strain selected from 171 strains taken from nature and comes from an experimental vineyard of the Castilla y Leon Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc from DO Rueda. UVAFERM WAM™ produces a moderate concentration of fermentation aromas of fresh and exotic fruit, respecting the aromas of the varietal. It has a powerful effect on the mouth sensation, providing smoothness and softness. Maturing on lees with this yeast improves the length and mouth evolution. Provides integration of acidity in all their flavor development.

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” […]

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 […]
