Fermivin PDM

ROBUST, RELIABLE & PROVEN

Purpose

Fermivin® PDM achieves fast, complete alcoholic fermentation in most winemaking conditions: a wide temperature range and high alcohol levels.

Its moderate contribution to wine’s organoleptic profile (low production of fermentation esters) makes it ideal for producing red, white and fruit wines.
