SafŒno™ CK S102 encourages the expression of fruity thiols of aromatic cultivars like Sauvignon Blanc, Gros and Petit Manseng. This advantage also makes it a yeast of choice to produce varietal rosés with a great aromatic finesse from cultivars like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. It reinforces the aromatic potential of terpenic cultivars like Muscat, Gewürztraminer and Riesling.

Promotion of neutral varieties

Thanks to its high ester production, SafŒno™ CK S102 is an ideal choice to value neutral grape varieties to obtain white and fruity rosés wines with different aroma profiles depending on the fermentation temperature.
