Red Star Premier Rouge Wine Yeast, 5g (Pasteur Red)

Red Star Premier Rouge has been derived from the collection of the Institute Pasteur in Paris. It is a strong, even fermenter that produces full bodied reds. This yeast encourages the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas, especially when using grapes of the Cabernet family. It may be necessary to cool the fermenting must to prevent unwanted temperature increase. This yeast is reported to give character to less robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum development. An excellent yeast for a wide array of red wines and fruit wines. Particularly well paired with Cabernet and Zinfandel families. Will produce full bodied and well rounded reds. Recommended fermentation temperatures of 60 – 80 F.
