Applications
White Select is a reliable fermenter with the ability to enhance varietal characters of the fruit while still producing fruity and floral aromas suited to high quality white wines. There is a more complex palate produced as a result of the genetic characteristics of this yeast which promotes autolysis in the latter stages of fermentation. Varieties best suited for White Select are Chardonnay, Semillon and Colombard when there is a desire to increase the aromatic intensity and mouthfeel of the wine.
Fermentation characteristics
Nitrogen requirements
White Select is considered a low to medium nitrogen consumer. A fermentation aid with a high inactive yeast content containing amino acids, trace elements and sterols is strongly recommended for low nutrient juices, cold fermentation and/or high alcohol potential grape juices toward the end of vintage.
