What strains of wine yeast choose?
There are a large number of selected yeast strains (> 250 strains).
The choice of yeast used must be reasoned in terms of:
type yeasting: yeast starter (quick fermentation), specific, regional, resumed fermentation, fermentation
its ability to reveal or aromatic compounds such as polyphenols extract
the nature of the grape and grape must (red, white, rosé)
the style of wine (young wine, care ...)
of the desired fermentation temperature
the resistance to alcohol and sugar
To help you in your choice, "Selection and use of microorganisms in winemaking," was recently adapted online and identifies the main strains available on the French market.
