Premium Zinfandel® Saccharomyces cerevisiae 

Very high alcohol tolerant (to 19.5%), strong fermenter. This yeast is recommended for the production of high alcohol red wines with body and structure, destined for long maturation. Does not produce elevated acetic acids production associated with higher alcohol fermentations. Employed with VP5, the result can be higher alcohol with more fruity aromas than are often found in high alcohol wines.
