VR 44 Bio

This active dry yeast is the strain SafŒno™ VR 44 certified organic by ECOCERT FR-BIO-01 according to European regulations.

In compliance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and to its implementation through the Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (and their amendments), the use of this yeast is complying with organic wine production rules defined by the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 203/2012 (and its amendments).

Based on mutual recognition with EU regulation, SafŒno™ VR 44 BIO may be recognized as organic in the US as it meets NOP requirements per USDA guidelines.

Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

→ Medium-fast fermentation start and medium-fast fermentation kinetics
→ Recommended maximum alcohol: up to 16% vol./vol.
→ Recommended temperature range: 10-30 °C (50-86°F)
→ Very good fructose assimilation
→ Very low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN (mg/L) / Sugars (g/L): from 0.7

SafŒno™ VR 44 BIO is convenient for all types of applications even in difficult wine making conditions. Resistant, robust and with low needs in nitrogen, this strain allows to decrease the use of inputs. It is the reason why it is particularly adapted to the production of organic wines.
