IOC Be Thiols™ is a fast fermenter with a short lag phase, moderate nitrogen requirements, and an alcohol tolerance of 15% (v/v). Optimal conditions for expressing fruity thiols are must/juice that is clarified (80 NTU ± 20), pH > 3.2, and fermentation temperatures between 15–25°C (59–77°F).

• Reveals fruity thiols (citrus and exotic fruits) in white and rose wines.
• Enhances 3-MH potential (grapefruit, passion fruit) without excessive plant-based notes.
• The purity of the fruity expression is heightened by this strains inability to produce negative sulfur compounds that can mask aromas.
• Fermaid O is recommended for nutrition.
