EnartisFerm Q MCK is a non-saccharomyces yeast (Metschnikowia pulcherrima) that was specially selected by the Centre of Excellence for Research in Microbiology (CERM) for its strong antimicrobial properties. CERM, established in 2024, specializes in research and development in the field of enological biotechnology. Its mission is to provide winemakers with reliable tools to improve their production processes through a tailored, scientific approach. EnartisFerm Q MCK is a natural alternative to SO2, and helps prevent quality loss caused by contaminating microbes and preserves aromatics. A non-fermentative yeast, its ability to quickly proliferate in juice and must even at cold temperatures makes it the ideal strain for bioprotection during pre-fermentation processing.

April 2022 73: 75-92; published ahead of print January 25, 2022 ; DOI: 10.5344/ajev.2021.21035 This article explores the impact of fermentation/maceration temperature on phenolic extraction and chromatic characteristics of three distinct Pinot Noir clones from California's Central Coast. The study revealed that fermentation temperature significantly influenced phenolic extraction, with higher temperatures resulting in increased extraction of phenolic compounds. EnartisFerm D20 successfully completed alcoholic fermentation across all temperature regimes. Additionally, variations in phenolic content and color characteristics were observed among the Pinot Noir clones, with Clone 777 displaying the highest phenolic content. The findings highlight the roles of fermentation temperature, vintage, and clone in phenolic extraction and color expression in Pinot

Yeast isolate from the top Cabernet Sauvignon block on DAOU Mountain, in Paso Robles, in the Adelaida Appellation. Enartis Ferm D20 is recommended for the production of high-end red wines intended to be aged. It tolerates high fermentation temperatures, promotes extraction of phenolic compounds, and reduces the perception of green notes while enhancing aromatic intensity and complexity. Particularly suited for Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals. Isolated in collaboration with DAOU Vineyards and Winery.

EnartisFerm Q4 is a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that has the unusual characteristic of being homozygous for the complete version of the IRC7 gene, a gene that encodes the synthesis of particular ß-lyases, active in hydrolyzing cysteine conjugates of 4MMP. This attribute gives yeast the ability to reveal green aromas associated with these specific thiols such as boxwood, tomato leaf and Scotch broom. Among varietal thiols, 4MMP is certainly the one whose content in grapes is conditioned by the climatic and growing conditions of the vineyard. Where these conditions have grapes with a good 4MMP content, the use of EnartisFerm Q4 produces wines characterized by a pronounced grassy aroma, much sought after by Sauvignon blanc admirers. *Odor Activity Value (OAV) represents a compound's contribution to the aroma of a given food. The OAV is calculated by dividing the value of the concentration of the compound in the food by the threshold of perception of the compound itself.&n

The Easytech selection of yeast nutrients and direct inoculation yeasts, including two new yeasts with extraordinary characteristics in the EnartisFerm Q line, are the main Enartis innovations for harvest 2022. Another new yeast is EnartisFerm Q Rho, a Saccharomyces uvarum strain which helps limit the enological effects of climate change. READ MORE

Stop by booth #415 to learn about what’s new for 2022. Hideki Hideki - The super-tannin to protect wine naturally! Hideki is a new tannin made of molecular fractions obtained through the selection and purification of gallic, ellagic and condensed tannins that are the most effective in terms of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. It is meant to be used during wine preparation for bottling as a natural and allergen free replacement for SO2, to protect wine from oxidation and to prevent spoilage by unwanted microorganisms. Easytech Enartis is proud to announce the launch of a new selection of products – Easytech – that offers simpler preparation methods which make winery operations easier, as well as reduce resources needed to adequately prepare products including equipment, energy, water and, most importantly, staff. Easytech includes two yeasts and two inoculation nutrients: EnartisFerm WS EnartisFerm Q ET (new) Nutriferm Arom Plus Nutriferm Ultra (new) Zenith&re

For over 25 years, EnartisFerm WS was only available in the concentrated liquid yeast form, as its unique characteristics made it challenging to produce in the active dry yeast form (ADY). After several years of research, Enartis’ yeast laboratory developed a new production process that successfully produced WS in the dry form. This optimized process, combined with its intrinsic characteristics, makes EnartisFerm WS able to be dry pitched, making cellar staff’s lives easier.  This feature of EnartisFerm WS dry is now certified by Enartis under the Easytech selection!
