This strain has the ability to reduce malic acid by up to 30-35%, and reduce total titratable acidity, making it perfect for young wines intended for early consumption, and for use with fruits high in acid. This moderate fermenting yeast will soften the palate but also contribute a significant amount of esters, conferring a fresh and fruity character to the wine.

Suitable for Zinfandel, Fruit wines and more.

Yeast Name	Yeast Description	Wine Style
CL23	A multi-purpose strain with a very neutral sensory impact, suitable for most wine styles but especially white, blush and sparkling wines. This fast fermenting yeast is highly robust, tolerating difficult fermentation conditions and alcohol levels up to 18% ABV.	Suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Vegetable wine and more.
AW4	A highly aromatic strain suitable for white & rosé wines, this moderate fermenting yeast confers fragrant aromatic esters to the wine which enhance varietal expression and aroma. This positive aromatic impact can be used to complete the natural aromatic qualities of the grape, or to enhance where the grape itself is lacking	Suitable for Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Riesling, Dessert Wine and more.
CY17	A white wine strain for making both dry and sweet wines, and also rosé wines. This moderate fermenting yeast is also perfectly suited to making country style wines from fruits and flowers, as these flavours and aromas are naturally enhanced. This strain promotes body, and confers rich and full, fruit and floral aromatics	Suitable for Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Muscat, Muscadet, Gewurztraminer, and more.
MA33	This strain has the ability to reduce malic acid by up to 30-35%, and reduce total titratable acidity, making it perfect for young wines intended for early consumption, and for use with fruits high in acid. This moderate fermenting yeast will soften the palate but also contribute a significant amount of esters, conferring a fresh and fruity character to the wine.	Suitable for Zinfandel, Fruit wines and more.
BV7	A multi-purpose strain which enhances volume and intensity for full varietal flavour expression. This moderate fermenting yeast also promotes good body and structure, whilst still preserving and respecting the natural flavour and aroma characteristics of the grape.

Suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Grenache, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and more.
R56	A strain suitable for red wines which enhances body and mouthfeel, develops complex fruit flavours/aromas, and promotes structure and longevity.
