A Saccharomyces cerevisiae hybrid yeast for the production of fresh and fruity white and rosé wines.
Purpose
VIN 13 is first hybrid wine yeast to be commercialised with proven performance and efficiency. VIN 13 is a strong and fast fermentor. It enhances volatile thiol aromas (passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry and guava) and produces esters (tropical fruit salad, floral).
It is recommended for vinifying Chardonnay, Chenin blanc, Riesling, Semillon, Gewürztraminer, Viognier, Pinot gris, Marsanne, Rousanne and all Muscat grape varieties. VIN 13 is also ideal for the production of aromatic rosé from all red grape varieties.
