Product Highlights

Vivace is recommended for cool climate Chardonnays (e.g. Chablis), where pear, green plum and apple notes are desired, as well as Australian and German Rieslings styles because of its beta-Lyase activity and its citrusy (lime) characteristics. It can be a great pair for spicy Alsacian Pinot Gris or Italian Pinot Grigio as it also presents hints of black pepper, eucalyptus and sweet spice. Due to its H2S prevention and its MLF compatibility, it can be used perfectly in barrel fermentation of Sauvignon Blanc “Fume Blanc” style.

Rehydration Instructions
  • In an inert and sterile container, prepare chlorine-free water at 38-42 °C (100-108 °F) that is 10 times the weight of the yeast to be rehydrated.
  • Gently mix the yeast into the water and allow 20 minutes for rehydration.
  • After rehydration, begin to slowly add full strength juice into the yeast mixture every 5 minutes to allow for acclimation. Do not decrease the temperature of the mixture by more than 5 °C (9 °F) with each juice addition.
  • When the temperature of the yeast suspension is less than 10 °C (18 °F) warmer than the must or juice to be inoculated, slowly add the yeast mixture into the fermentation vessel.

Note: Directly adding dry yeast to the must or juice tank is not advised.
