Application

• Pinnacle FermiTop enhances varietal character of top quality red wines. This is a great tool to improve fermentation of over-ripe grapes with low YAN and high alcohol content, enhancing more intense aromas and greater mouthfeel.; • Pinnacle FermiTop is also recommended for highly clarified white and rosé wine fermentations at low temperature.; • We recommend using an aromatic yeast strain to maximize the synthesis of secondary aromas.; • In case of low YAN (<100ppm) and/ or high sugar content it is highly recommended to complement yeast nutrition with ammonium salts.

Characteristic

• Pinnacle FermiTop is an ammonium saltfree yeast nutrient.; • Pinnacle FermiTop is a very rich source of free amino acids, vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids and sterols which are immediately available for the yeast and improve cellular multiplication, viability and vitality of the cells.; • Pinnacle FermiTop provides amino acids for synthesis of transport proteins and enzymes. Gradual release of growth factors enables complete and safe fermentation.; • The large availability of amino acids ensures a complete and rich enzymatic pool for the yeast cells which increase aroma synthesis.; • Release of polysaccharides increases the mouthfeel.

Storage Condition

Store the product in a fresh, dry, well ventilated room.

Use Instructions

Pinnacle FermiTop does not require any rehydration. Its granulated form allows a direct addition into the must. Add Pinnacle FermiTop during the first third of alcoholic fermentation, directly into the vessel.

Scientific background

Amino acids are crucial for yeast nutrition, because amino acids form the largest group of YAN compounds (Bell & Henschke, 2005) and their metabolism is directly related to many flavor compounds, and thus the ultimate quality of wine (Styger et al., 2011).
