Fermivin PF6
FRUITY AND ELEGANT RED WINES
Purpose
Fermivin® PF6 produces elegant, round and balanced wines.
This strain brings out berry and fresh fruit aromas while also ensuring cellaring potential.
It ferments well at low temperatures and is therefore suitable for cold soaking – a technique promoting phenol compound extraction and stabilisation.
When used in combination with the maceration enzyme Rapidase® Extra Color, Fermivin PF6 optimises colour extraction.

Science and Technology
Fermivin PF6 has a very low ability to adsorb polyphenols and therefore contributes to the colour of Pinot noir wines.
It promotes the release of C13-compounds (especially β-ionone), which typify the aroma of Pinot noir wines. The low gelatin index proves that Fermivin PF6 produces a less astringent wine.
Fermivin PF6 releases a high amount of isoamyl acetate, an intense fruity aroma for early-consumption wines.
