A low foaming wine yeast, vigorous and fast fermenter good for both reds and whites. Also known as "champagne yeast", so it is also also ideal for dry ciders and sparkling wines. A very competitive yeast that will inhibit wild yeasts. Similar to the KV-1116, it will restart stuck fermentations because of good alcohol and sulfite tolerance. This is a very neutral yeast that will have very little effect on the varietal character of the grape. A popular strain that ferments fully and flocculates well producing compact lees. Good for cool fermentations. Champagne, dry reds, whites, dry ciders and sparkling wines.
