DV10

#6355 - 10 g | #9656 - 4 oz | #9654 - 500 g

Recommended for use in the following fermentations

Cider, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Late Harvest, Fruit Wine, and White Wine when clean minerality is desired.

Sensory Profile

Known for extremely "clean" fermentations that respect varietal character. It is similar to the popular Prise de Mousse "Champagne Yeast" but lower in bitter sensory contribution and relatively low in phenolic extraction.

Other Noteworthy Characteristics

This cold tolerant yeast is a saccharomyces bayanus strain that is considered a "workhorse" yeast. It can handle high SO2 levels, low pH (2.8-2.9) and high alcohol levels. It ferments with high vigor and can be used to restart stuck fermentations. It is particularly recommended for ciders made from traditional cider apple varieties, as well as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc with a mineral profile.

Alcohol Tolerance

17%

Temperature Range

50 - 95°F

Good for Late Harvest & Difficult Conditions?

Yes

The best choices of yeast to ferment apple or pear cider, as well as fruit wines, are often very neutral and low nutrient need yeasts. An extremely "clean" fermentation character, which can be best achieved at cooler fermentation temperatures and with the use of yeast stains such as DV 10, will allow the varietal character of the fruit to play the dominant role in the end product. If the fruit you are working with is fresh and a high quality that you wish to showcase in your beverage, DV10 is an ideal choice.
