A yeast for the varietal expression of white wines, this intensely aromatic strain releases an exceptional amount of esters, and also has the unique ability to reveal grapefruit, passion fruit, mango and gooseberry aromas created by three volatile thiols: 4-mercapto- 4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP), 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) and its acetate ester (3MHA). These thiols are formed from non-volatile cysteinylated precursors found in the grapes, and then released by the yeast as a results of beta-lyase enzymatic activity during fermentation. As an H2S–preventing strain, the yeast maintains a clean and pronounced aromatic profile. It is a reliable fermenter that produces above average glycerol for a white strain and has low to moderate nitrogen requirements.
