Enartis Ferm Q5 is a yeast strain suitable for the production of highquality, varietal red wines destined for extended barrel ageing. It helps with the expression of primary aromas from norisoprenoids contained in red grapes. Enartis Ferm Q5 intensifies notes of red fruit (strawberry, raspberry, black cherry) and flowers (violet and rose) naturally present in red grapes by using the aminoacids of juice to produce secondary aromas – esters and higher alcohols. It also increases wine complexity with spicy notes. Due to its excellent extraction capacity, it results in wines with intense and stable color, soft structure, and suited for barrel ageing. Enartis Ferm Q5 is recommended for the production of big, fruit-forward and complex red wines destined for medium and long ageing.
