Fermivin 3C
ELEGANT, ROUND, FRUITY AND COMPLEX WINES
Purpose
Fermivin® 3C’s aromatic impact is marked by high β-damascenone production, which enhances fruity and floral aromas. It seems to have a longer lag phase, despite its good fermentation kinetics and fructose intake until the end.
Fermivin 3C releases large quantities of polysaccharides, making it ideal for barrel fermentation and maturation on lees. Fermivin 3C produces high-end, very round wines that have a long finish on the palate.
These properties make it perfect for varieties like Chardonnay, Viognier or Pinot gris.

Science and Technology
During fermentation, Fermivin 3C produces a lot of ß-damascenone, a norisoprenoid that gives Chardonnay its grapefruit aroma, and yeast polysaccharides, which can be even higher by ageing on the lees.
