COFALEC publication on selected natural wine yeasts – January 2022

COFALEC has recently published a new brochure on selected natural wine yeasts. Along with showing the diversity of yeasts, this brochure aims to explain their crucial role during the winemaking process and to answer the many questions one may have about yeasts.

The brochure is composed of five technical sheets, each of which sheds light on the contribution of yeasts in wine making:

-Origins of selected natural wine yeasts: yeasts have been used in production of bread, wine, beer and spirits since Pasteur linked them to fermentation more than a hundred years ago. Learn more about the history of yeast and its different uses in the first sheet.

-Roles and advantages of wine yeasts: this second sheet highlights the unique character of the micro-organism that is the yeast, allowing the fermentation process, and its determining role on the aromatic profile of wines.

-Biodiversity and selection of wine yeasts: discover the selection process of yeast strains and the rigor with which they are chosen by winemakers to gain time, avoid sensory faults and successfully control to achieve consistency reflecting their wine identity.

-Wine yeast growth and production: from yeast growing to dry yeast, this sheet explains yeast production and the role of active dry yeast in improving quality and diversity in the wine industry,

-About selected Wine Yeasts: in the dedicated question and answer sheet, discover selected natural wine in 9 questions.COFALEC has recently published a new brochure on selected natural wine yeasts.
