Red Star Premier Rouge (Pasteur Red) is a strong, even fermenter that produces full bodied reds. This yeast encourages the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas, especially when using grapes of the Cabernet family. It is reported to give character to less robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum development.

Recommended Use: red wines

Ideal Fermentation Temperature: 64-86 F

Alcohol tolerance: 16%
