Product details
LEVEL2 BIODIVA™ is a pure culture of Torulaspora delbrueckii, selected to enhance wine aromatic and mouthfeel complexity. Used in sequential inoculation with a compatible Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain it will help control development of the wine's aromatic complexity. LEVEL2 BIODIVA™ tends to enhance varietal and fermentation ester characters whilst contributing to mouthfeel. Due to its low volatile acid production and its tolerance to osmotic shock, LEVEL2 BIODIVA™ is also well-adapted for fermenting late harvest and ice wines.
