Description

This dry wine yeast strain has been widely used in the U.S. since 1963. It is a strong fermenter with good ethanol tolerance, and will readily ferment grape musts and fruit juices to dryness. This strain also has good tolerance to free sulfur dioxide.

Apparent Attenuation Range (%) : n/a

Pitching/Fermentation : Red Star Montrachet Wine Yeast (Davis 522), a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been derived from the collection of the University of California.
UCD #522
Notes : This strain is recommended for full bodied reds and whites. It is not recommended for grapes that have been dusted with sulfur, because of a tendency to produce hydrogen sulfide in the presence of higher concentrations of sulfur compounds.
Montrachet is noted for low volatile acidity, good flavor complexity, and intense color.

Best Styles : Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel

This yeast has work fine for me for many years. I occasionally use it in place of Lavlin EC 1118 when making medium and fuller bodied reds.
