Joenos Port Wine Yeast, 3x 5 g for Sweet, High-Alcohol Wines

With port-style, liqueur and dessert wines, the yeast has to work against plenty of sugar and still must not stop prematurely. This pure-culture dry wine yeast is made exactly for that: it delivers a vigorous fermentation and ferments reliably even at high sugar levels.

The strain is alcohol-tolerant up to around 16,5 % vol. and works in a temperature range of roughly 20 to 32 °C. Typical aromas include plum, fig, date and cherry, which is why this yeast also suits dark, sweet fruit wines. Its nutrient demand is high, so a yeast nutrient is recommended. Rehydrate and dose according to the package instructions.
