Recommended for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, & Viognier.
- Lalvin QA23 has low nutrient and oxygen require­ments. It has been known to ferment juice at low temperatures (15°C/59°F) to dryness.
- Excellent thiol converter making it a complementary yeast for developing varietal Sauvignon Blanc passion fruit character.
- Produces large amounts of the enzyme beta-gluco­sidase during growth which allows for the release of bound terpenes in aromatic varieties.
- Also good for ciders.
