O. oeni strain adapted to high SO₂ and known to contribute a positive aroma impact
Enoferm BetaTM was isolated in the Abruzzi wine region in Italy. This strain is pH tolerant to 3.2, total SO2 to 60 ppm, temperature to 14ºC (57ºF) and alcohol to 15% (v/v).
The name Beta comes from its capacity to increase levels of beta-damascenone and beta-ionone which are compounds that contribute floral notes, particularly in Merlot.
Pitch directly or rehydrate with nutrients for best results. Good for up to 660 gal (25hL).
