This is very versatile yeast, effective both in primary fermentation and in the re-start of stuck ones. It is considered a fructo-phylic yeast (consumes fructose, the sugar usually left behind in stuck fermentations). It is resistant to very high temperatures and high alcohol (34°C, 94°F and 17.5% alcohol). The cells flocculate very well and the wine is easy to filter just a few days after the end of the fermentation.
It produces moderate amounts of SO2 and glycerol. Glycerol production is much higher at high fermentation temperatures (28C/82F)
