Renaissance Yeast uses the science of selective breeding to create wine yeast strains with superior sensory attributes and technical performance. Their process allows them to isolate and select yeast strains with excellent fermentation kinetics and to produce the flavors and aromas that make a wine exceptional.
How do these strains prevent Hydrogen Sulphide?
Renaissance Yeast has spent over five years selectively breeding yeast with the strain UCD 932 (H2S-preventing strain from the University of California Davis) with other wine yeast strains. They isolate and select offspring with the H2S-preventing trait as well as other traits that give them excellent fermentation kinetics and normal levels of SO2 production.
