Red Star Premier Rouge has been derived
from the collection of the Institute Pasteur
in Paris. It is a strong, even fermenter that
produces full bodied reds. This yeast encourages
the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced
by complex aromas, especially when using grapes
of the Cabernet family. It may be necessary to cool
the fermenting must to prevent unwanted temperature
increase. This yeast is reported to give character to less
robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum
development.
