Enhance fermentation efficiency and amplify fruit-forward aromatics
CVRP is a robust Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain developed to deliver clean, efficient fermentations across a broad spectrum of wine styles. Selected for its steady fermentation kinetics and low volatile acidity production, CVRP enhances varietal fruit expression while contributing to a balanced mouthfeel and refined structure. Its high polysaccharide production results in wines with decreased astringency and bitterness, stable color, and complex, ripe fruit flavors.
-
Clean Fermentation Profile: Promotes crisp, fruit-forward expressions with minimal off-flavors.
-
Enhanced Ester Production: Amplifies red fruit, stone fruit, and citrus notes, creating vibrant aromatics.
-
Alcohol Tolerance: Efficiently ferments up to 16% ABV, suitable for a variety of wine styles.
-
Temperature Range: Performs optimally between 64°F (18°C) and 86°F (30°C), providing flexibility for fermentation strategies.
-
Low Volatile Acidity: Minimizes acetic acid production for a cleaner, purer wine profile.
-
High Flocculation: Settles quickly post-fermentation, allowing for easier clarification and reduced sediment.
Applications:
-
Red Wines: Exceptional for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel, enhancing fruit intensity and structure.
-
White Wines: Ideal for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, delivering bright, clean fruit expressions.
-

Balanced Acidity: Preserves natural acidity, resulting in a crisp and refreshing finish.
-
Clean Finish: Promotes clarity and structure, avoiding harshness and off-flavors during fermentation.
Usage:
-
Rehydration: Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of chlorine-free water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes. Stir gently to avoid clumping.
-
Pitch Rate: Use 1–1.5 grams per gallon (0.25–0.4 grams per liter) for optimal fermentation and flavor development.
-
Nutrient Addition: Supplement with yeast nutrient for optimal cell health and complete fermentation, especially in low-nitrogen musts.
-
Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 64°F and 86°F (18°C and 30°C) to enhance ester production and prevent off-flavors.
-
Aging Potential: Suitable for both early-drinking wines and those intended for short-term aging, preserving vibrant fruit character and clarity.
