Fermivin VINEAE
NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEAST FOR AROMA AND MOUTHFEEL
Purpose
Fermivin® VINEAE is a non-Saccharomyces yeast, enhancing aromatic intensity and bringing mouthfeel and volume.
In wine, its use is in co-inoculation with S. cerevisiae for sensorial and performance aspects.
Recommended ratio: 80% VINEAE/20% Saccharomyces.
➜ White & rosé wines for floral and fruity lift and more aromatic complexity.
➜ Red wines for softer tannins, less green character, and smoother balance.
➜ Sparkling wines for cleaner base wines, reduced branched fatty acids, fresher aromas.
The use of Natuferm® Bright or Fruity enhances the aroma intake.
In ciders & fermentations for NoLow alcohol wines, it can be used alone.
Results & benefits
Oenological properties
| Fermentations kinetics | Medium |
| Nutrients requirements | – Thiamine mandatory: 30-50 mg/hL (EU limit at 60 mg/hL) – If use of DAP or DAS, add it after 1/3 of AF |
| Alcohol tolerance | 10 % vol. |
| Temperature range | 16-28 °C, 61-82.4 °F |
Science and Technology
Co-inoculation increases ester concentration (Figure 1). Autolysis is up to 5× quicker than any Sacc., giving body and roundness in a short period of lees ageing (Figure 2).
