- Moderate speed fermenter
- Medium/high nutrient requirements
- Low VA, H2S and SO2 production
- Expresses thiols (ß-lyase activity)
- Fermentation at 15-17°C favors fresh citrus and mineral notes; 18-21°C favors tropical and stonefruit aromas
- Low producer of riboflavin: reduce risk of light-struck defect
Recommendations: Thiol production; varietal expression; ester and acetate production
Dosage: 20-40 g/hL (1.7-3.4 lb/1,000 gal)
