Premier Rouge

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET


OE_L_EN Premier Rouge
Rev.: SEP2008 – Page 1/2

ORIGIN

• Selected by the University of Davis, California. This yeast strain is widely used in the United States.

FERMENTATIVE PROPERTIES

• This strain guarantees a fast start of the fermentation process while taking immediately the upper hand on the
indigenous flora
• Good alcohol resistance (till 15% vol.)
• Present a complete and regular fermentation kinetic within a wide temperature range from 17°C to 30°C
• Low volatile acidity and acetaldehyde production under suitable nutritional conditions

ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES

• Strain able to improve the softness and the roundness of full bodied wines thanks to the valorisation of the lightest
tannins
• Varietal strain adapted to the vinification of Bordeaux grapes: development of “cut herbs” like aromas with
Cabernet Sauvignon and “ripen fruits” like aromas with Merlot
• Adapted to international market requirements by producing full bodied red wines poor in astringency
• Production of complex aromas which combine with oak flavors to create a very original organoleptic profile, what can
bring character to the lightest wines

SUGGESTIONS OF APPLICATIONS

• Recommended for the vinifications of high quality red wines aged in oak barrels
• Particularly adapted to the production of red wines from Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz grape families and to all full
bodied wines
• For long maceration processes with grapes rich in astringent tannins

USES

• The rehydration time should be between 20 to 25 minutes.


• This strain should be rehydrated in ten times its weight of sugared water or in a mixture of one-third of must
and two-thirds of water. The mixture temperature should be 35/38°C (95/100°F). Stir during 20 minutes.
• Slowly sprinkle the culture media into 3 times the weight of the must in order for the yeasts to adapt to their
new fermentation media (temperature difference, osmotic pressure, SO2), then wait for 10 minutes.
• This mixture can be added directly into the fermentation tank with uniform mixing. The difference of
temperature between the rehydrated yeast and the tank should not exceed 10°C, optimum being 5°C.
