  • NT 116 is a robust, strong fermenting strain for the production of highly aromatic red and white wines. This strain is responsible for red and black fruit in full-bodied red wines, as well as thiol, ester and citrus aromas in aromatic, crisp white wines.

  • N 96 is a neutral wine yeast, which allows varietal character to dominate wine aroma. It is also well suited for the production of sparkling wines and ice wine. Ideal for cider production, where a more varietal aroma profile is desired.
  • NT 202 enhances red berry aromas in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and blackberry, black currant, tobacco and prune aromas in Pinotage. It is recommended for the production of red wines with or without wood maturation. NT 202 has a high alcohol tolerance, good fructose utilisation and a stimulating effect on malolactic fermentation when compared to other red wine strains. It is therefore especially suitable for the vinification of high sugar musts where the resulting high alcohol at the end of fermentation can potentially cause sluggish or stuck alcoholic fermentations and/or problematic MLF’s.
  • NT 50 enhances red berries (strawberry, raspberry and cherry), black berries (blackberry and blackcurrant) and spicy aromas in red wines. It is suitable for wine with or without wood maturation. It is most suited for vinifying Shiraz (Syrah), Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Grenache, Pinot noir, Pinotage and Gamay noir.
  • NT 112 is recommended for the production of red wines with a firm tannic structure. It enhances blackberry and blackcurrant aromas in Cabernet Sauvignon and red berry and minty aromas in Shiraz and Pinotage. It is also appropriate for vinifying Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel. NT 112 can produce SO2 under stress conditions, i.e. very high alcohols (>14%) and low fermentation temperatures (<20°C).
  • WE 372 enhances red berry and floral aromas in red wines. It is recommended for the vinification of most red grape varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz/Syrah, Pinotage and Pinot noir. WE 372 is also recommended for the production of semi-sweet white wines, as the fermentation is easily slowed down by lowering the temperature to 10°C.
