The importance of yeast in alcoholic fermentation for structured wine
Yeast are responsible in defining the characteristics of a wine.
That’s why it is essential to use top quality products.
In enology, yeast are fundamental for the production of wine and the success or failure of the final product depends on them.
One of the most important requirements a wine yeast must possess is the ability to ensure a healthy and complete fermentation, as this is the first step to create a quality wine.
Therefore, it is easy to understand the importance of yeast in alcoholic fermentation and in defining the characteristics of a structured wine. This is why it is essential to use top quality products which give wine unique and refined characteristics.
For this reason, Enartis has developed specific, strong yeast strains, resistant to high alcohol and with a unique characteristic: they are selected from Californian vineyards.

EnartisFerm D20
EnartisFerm D20 is a yeast isolate from the top Cabernet Sauvignon block on DAOU Mountain in the Adelaida Appellation of Paso Robles, California.
Daniel Daou, co-proprietor and winemaker of DAOU Vineyards & Winery in Paso Robles says “We were seeking a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast that would handle higher temperatures during fermentation and lead to more color and flavor while helping balance tannins. EnartisFerm D20 yeast has improved the mouthfeel of our wines while delivering a more balanced wine that has increased phenolics.”
EnartisFerm D20 produces powerful, complex and structured wines with high ageing potential. It expresses varietal and terroir characters and enhances dark fruit, floral and spicy notes.
EnartisFerm D20 has high polyphenol extraction ability; promoting rich, dense and stable color, as well as resistance to high fermentation temperatures and high alcohol tolerance.
Particularly suited for red varietals, it is highly recommended for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah and Sangiovese.
EnartisFerm WS
After 25 years of significant success in liquid form, WS yeast is now available as an Active Dry Yeast. Isolated from late harvest Zinfandel from Williams-Selyem Winery, WS is considered one of the most robust California yeast strains. WS, well-suited for a wide spectrum of red and white varietals, is also recommended for fermentation of high °Brix juice and to restart stuck or sluggish fermentations.
WS respects varietal and terroir characters and augments fruit and spice expression. WS contributes both excellent complexity and structure enhancement with soft tannin extraction. WS is particularly recommended for the production of high alcohol wines, destined for medium to long-term ageing.
