Fermivin E73

EARLY RELEASE FRUITY RED WINES

Purpose

Fermivin® E73 produces fruity, balanced wine for rapid consumption.

As a cryophilic yeast strain, it is especially suitable for fermenting must that undergoes cold pre-fermentation maceration.

Fermivin E73 can be added during pre-fermentation maceration for better propagation.

It is especially recommended to use with the maceration enzyme Rapidase® Extra Color to optimise colour and polyphenol extraction.
