Description

1895C™

The sleeping beauty yeast for clean crisp wines

1895C™ was isolated from a bottle of Räuschling (white) wine made in 1895.
  • This strain is suitable for most wine types where clean aromatics and varietal expression are desired
  • Steady fermenter with a short lag phase
  • Low volume of lees due to smaller cell size
  • Low foaming strain with very low production of volatile acidity and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae strain

Frequently used in: reds, whites, cider, sparkling base wines, fruit wines
Alcohol tolerance: 15%
Nitrogen needs: Low
Temp. Range: 16-32°C (60- 89°F)

The Story of The Sleeping Beauty Yeast: In June 2008, on the beautiful shores of Lake Zurich, Swiss winemakers got together to taste wines made from the almost extinct white cultivar Räuschling. The oldest of these wines dated back to the 1895 vintage! During the tasting, a prominent microbiologist, Professor Gafner, from the Agroscope- Changins Wädenswil research station was present. His curious nature led him to examine the sediment in some of the oldest bottles. Imagine the excitement when he discovered that the sediment present in a bottle from 1895 was actually Saccharomyces yeast in its dormant form! Thus, the sleeping beauty yeast was born, or rather awakened.
