Red Star Premier Rouge yeast (formerly called Pasteur Red) is a strong, steady fermenting yeast that produces full-bodied red wines. This yeast encourages the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas, especially when using grapes from the Cabernet family. It may be necessary to cool the fermenting must to prevent unwanted temperature increase. This yeast is reported to give character to less robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum development. Red Star Premier Rouge, a strain of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, has been derived from the collection of the Institute Pasteur in Paris. Temperature Range: 17°-30°C (64°-86°F). 5 grams per pack.
