Anchor NT202 1kg

A yeast for the production of aromatic red wines

ORIGIN
NT 202 is a product of the yeast hybridisation program of ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, the vine and wine research
institute of the Agricultural Research Council, Stellenbosch, South Africa.
 

APPLICATION
NT 202 enhances red berry and minty aromas in Cabernet Sauvignon, red berry aromas in Merlot and blackberry,
black currant, tobacco and prune aromas in Pinotage. It is recommended for the production of red wines with
or without wood maturation. NT 202 has a high alcohol tolerance, a good fructose utilisation and a stimulating
effect on malolactic fermentation, when compared to other red wine strains. It is therefore especially suitable
for the vinification of high sugar musts where the resulting high alcohols at the end of fermentation can
potentially cause sluggish or stuck alcoholic fermentations and/or problematic MLF’s.
