A strong fermenter with good alcohol tolerance that is useful in producing dry, full-bodied red and white wines. Will leave a wine with intense color and excellent flavor complexity while preserving tannin content. This yeast will produce hydrogen sulfide gas in the presence of excess sulfur compounds and therefore should not be used to ferment grapes that contain residual sulfur dust.

Montrachet is a versatile all-purpose wine yeast with complex flavors and aromas. Ferments strongly and has good alcohol tolerance. Well suited for Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, and other dry, full-bodied wines.

Temperature range: 59-86 F.

Alcohol Tolerance: 13%.
