A yeast for fine, elegant white wines with complex aromas, produced by Fermentis (Lesaffre), key global players in yeasts and fermentation solutions. SafOeno EF™ 85 originates from the Loire Valley (France) and comes from a selection program carried out in partnership with l’Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin.

Sensory features: brings complex and balanced fruity notes to wines due to its high production of ethyl esters combined with a medium production of acetate esters
Its ability to maintain high total acidity favours a balanced fresh mouthfeel making SafOeno EF 85 ideally suited to the production of elegant white wines with respect for the grape variety
Throughout numerous vinifications carried out during its selection program, SafOeno EF 85 showed good performances on many different white cultivars, from neutral varieties (Chardonnay, Grenache blanc, Ugni blanc, etc.) to aromatic varieties (Muscat, Viognier or Sauvignon blanc), always offering an aromatic profile well appreciated by tasters

Easy to Use

Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvement generates an exceptional quality of dry yeasts able to resist to a very wide range of uses, including by-passing acclimatization, cold or no rehydration conditions, without affecting their viability, kinetic and/or analytical profile. Winemakers can choose to use our E2U™ yeast with the process that fits best their need:

Direct inoculation:

Directly sprinkle the yeast into the fermentation tank after the beginning of the transfer from the settling tank and keep transferring to ensure a good homogenization
Gently stir to avoid or break clumps
Immediately transfer into the tank and homogenize the entire volume

With prior rehydration:

Gently pour the desired quantity of yeast in 10 times its weight of tap water from 15-37°C (59-98.6°F)
Gently stir to complete yeast rehydration and avoid the formation of clumps
Following the rehydration, it is possible to continue with an acclimatization by incorporating to the yeast starter ½ of a volume of must and leave it to rest for 10 minutes
Repeat the operation until the temperature difference between the fermentation tank and the yeast starter culture is less than 10°C (50°F)
