Gervin GV6 - Light Dessert Wine Yeast

Gervin Light Dessert Wine Yeast GV6

Great for producing quality white wines with fruity & floral characteristics. 

A true Sauternes yeast selected by Brian Croser, the distinguished Australian winemaker.

It will ferment down to a temperature of 5C making it suitable for lighter dessert wines.

Add a little nutrient to the must to prevent excess volatile acidity.

This 5gm sachet is sufficient for up to 23 Litres - simply sprinkle the contents of the sachet onto the surface of your brew.

ABV Tolerance: 16% | Temperature: 6 - 25c

Making a Yeast Starter

• Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the contents of the sachet to a glass with about 50ml of warm water. (approx. 20 °C)
• Cover the glass with a clean plate and simply leave for 15-20 minutes.
• Before you empty the glass of yeast into your brew we recommend vigorously stirring your wine.
• The more oxygen introduced before you put the yeast on will promote a strong healthy fermentation.
