Viniflora® Merit™
For high sugar musts, it is essential to select a yeast that is capable of completing fermentation. Viniflora® Merit™ is a selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisae isolated from a Syrah wine in South Africa. Merit™ is a very fast, reliable and robust yeast strain that can ferment wine up to 17% alcohol (v/v). This strain is ideal for restarting fermentations and produces very low levels of SO2.
Key Features
- Ideal for sparkling base and delicate fruit ciders with crisp and sharp flavors
- Strong and clean fermentation kinetics
- Alcohol tolerance is up to 17% (v/v)
