Elegant floral wines.
Purpose
Fermivin® SM102 produces white wines with floral aromas (acacia, hawthorn).
This yeast is well known for quality wines with low alcohol and/or residual sugar. Residual sugar can balance the high acidity of some white wines. It can also be used for fortified wines with a smaller addition of alcohol.
It can also delay the onset of MLF.
