Uvaferm 43™ (Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus) is the go-to yeast for high sugar ferments or when your fermentation won’t finish. This fructophilic yeast stands out for its ability to efficiently metabolize fructose—the sugar most often left behind in incomplete fermentations.
With an alcohol tolerance up to 16% v/v and a naturally high fermentation rate, Uvaferm 43™ is a reliable choice for restarting stuck fermentations or finishing wines with challenging fructose-to-glucose ratios. It requires minimal nutrients, produces low levels of volatile acidity, SO₂, and H₂S, and has a neutral sensory impact, allowing the wine’s varietal character to shine through.
Its K2 killer factor gives it a competitive edge against wild yeast and spoilage organisms, ensuring a clean, efficient fermentation restart. Whether you’re rescuing a sluggish red, white, or rosé, Uvaferm 43™ offers winemakers a proven, professional solution.
Available in 1.5g packets (treats 1 gallon) or 7.5g packets (treats 5 gallons).
