Using a selected yeast strain can maximize the positive attributes that come withthat strain (e.g., mouthfeel,complexity, aromas, fermentation kinetics), whileavoiding unpleasant aromas and poor fermentationkinetics that may come witha “wild” strain. The key toyeast choice is matching it tothe wine style, and more importantly, the fermentationconditions. Proper rehydration and acclimatization ofthe selected yeast strain isessential.
