Lallemand Assmanshausen (AMH) | Dry Wine Yeast

    Description

    • Assmanshausen (AMH) is the ideal choice for winemakers seeking to produce elegant, terroir-driven red wines with aromatic complexity and structured tannins
    • Whether perfecting a Pinot Noir, elevating the freshness of Gamay, or crafting a refined Burgundy-style blend, AMH consistently delivers elegance, balance, and nuanced flavor in every bottle
    • Enhanced aromatics and structured tannins for elegant red wines

    Assmanshausen (AMH) is a specialty wine yeast strain prized for its ability to enhance aromatic complexity and develop structured tannins in cool-climate red wines. Originally selected from the Assmanshausen region in Germany, this strain is ideal for crafting elegant, age-worthy wines that benefit from extended fermentation and maceration periods. Its steady, controlled fermentation allows for nuanced expression of delicate fruit and spice characteristics.

    • Enhanced Aromatics: Elevates subtle cherry, cranberry, and spice notes, ideal for cool-climate reds.
    • Structured Tannin Development: Promotes refined tannin integration, enhancing mouthfeel and ageability.
    • Alcohol Tolerance: Effective up to 14% ABV, suitable for balanced red wine styles.
    • Temperature Range: Performs optimally between 59°F (15°C) and 82°F (28°C), allowing for slow, controlled fermentations.
    • Low Flocculation: Extended suspension during fermentation aids in complex flavor development.
    • Minimal SO₂ Production: Preserves clean aromatics and avoids off-flavors.

    Applications:

    • Pinot Noir: Enhances delicate fruit and floral notes while promoting smooth tannin development.
    • Gamay: Elevates fresh berry expressions and accentuates vibrant acidity.
    • Cool-Climate Reds: Ideal for crafting structured, elegant wines that express terroir.
    • Blended Reds: Perfect for Burgundy-style blends and Beaujolais Nouveau.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Red Fruits: Highlights cherry, cranberry, and raspberry for a bright, aromatic profile.
    • Spice and Floral Notes: Subtle expressions of clove, cinnamon, and violet enhance complexity.
    • Silky Tannins: Promotes refined tannin structure for a smooth, elegant mouthfeel.
    • Aging Potential: Supports graceful aging with layered complexity and aromatic depth.

    Guidelines:

    • Rehydration: Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of chlorine-free water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes. Stir gently to prevent clumping.
    • Pitch Rate: Use 1–1.5 grams per gallon (0.25–0.4 grams per liter) for optimal fermentation and aromatic expression.
    • Nutrient Addition: Supplement with yeast nutrients, particularly in low-nitrogen musts, to prevent sluggish fermentation.
    • Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 59°F and 82°F for optimal aromatic expression and structured tannin development.
    • Extended Maceration: Suitable for long fermentations to develop depth and complexity.
