Enoferm Syrah (YSEO) 0,5 kg
ORIGIN AND APPLICATION
Reliable fermenter for classical Shiraz aromas.
Enoferm Syrah™ is a natural isolate yeast from the Côtes du Rhône, selected by the Martin Vialatte microbiology department in cooperation with oenology laboratories of the Drome Chamber of Agriculture and the Suze-la-Rousse, France.
Enoferm Syrah™ generally offers good mouthfeel and stable colour extraction. Tends to produce high levels of β-damascenone, which promotes violet and red fruit aromas.
Typical aromas include violets, raspberries, strawberries and black pepper. Generally enhances and respects varietal character. It is a high glycerol producer, hence contributes a round palate structure. Although Enoferm Syrah™ is a yeast which has medium nitrogen demand, this yeast has a tendency to produce H2S under low YAN conditions, hence rehydration with Go-Ferm Protect® / Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™ and thoughtful nitrogen management will give optimum results.
Particularly suited to Shiraz and Merlot.
The Enoferm Syrah™ yeast, was selected from nature, and has since been improved using the Lallemand proprietaryprocess called YSEO®.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Dosage Rate:
- 25g/hL of Active Dried Yeast (this will provide an initial cell population of approximately 5 x106 viable cells/ml)
- 30g/hL of Go-Ferm Protect® / Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™
- Nitrogen source from the Fermaid™ range
Procedure for 1000L ferment.
- Add 300g of Go-Ferm Protect® / Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™ to 5L of 40-43°C clean, chlorine free water. Stir until an homogenous suspension free of lumps is achieved.
- When the temperature of this suspension is between 35-40°C, sprinkle 250g of yeast slowly and evenly onto the surface of the water, whilst gently stirring. Ensure any clumps are dispersed.
- Allow to stand for 20 minutes before further gently mixing.
- Mix the rehydrated yeast with a little juice, gradually adjusting the yeast suspension temperature to within 5-10°C of the juice/must temperature.
- Inoculate into the must.
Further Notes
- Steps 1-5 should be completed within 30 minutes.
- It is best to limit first juice/must volume addition to one tenth the yeast suspension volume and wait 10 minutes before the addition to juice.
- To minimize cold shock, ensure temperature changes are less than 10°C.
- It is recommended that juice / must be inoculated no lower than 18°C.
- It is recommended to use complex nutrition nitrogen source, such as either Fermaid AT™ or Fermaid O™.
PACKAGING AND STORAGE
- Pack size is 500 g.
- All Active Dried Yeast should be stored dry, best practice between 4-12°C and the vacuum packaging should remain intact.
