Viniflora Melody from Chr. Hansen

Viniflora®MELODY™ - the best in a blend; carefully selected quality yeast strains with outstanding fermentation properties.

This unique blend from Chr. Hansen brings back the complexity and full potential of a "wild" or traditional fermentation.

True "wild" fermentations can be affected by by-products from unwanted organisms, especially brettanomyces, commonly referred to as brett. Wild strains can also be unreliable alcohol producers and often die from ethanol poisoning before fermentation is complete. By introducing the combination of the yeast strains Torulaspora delbrueckii (20%) and Lachancea thermotolerans (20%), you can increase the aromatic complexity and mouthfeel of your wine, while the presence of a strong Sacchromyces strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (60%), ensures a strong and complete finish to the fermentation.

Chr. Hansen - Viniflora MELODY

MELODY is a complex mix of three different yeast types, consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (60%), Torulaspora delbrueckii (20%) and Lachancea thermotolerans (20%), which in combination contribute additional aromatic compounds to the wine.

When Viniflora®MELODY™ is used for white wines, the sensory profile is tropical and fruity, with excellent aromatic intensity combined with a round and well-balanced mouthfeel

Viniflora®MELODY™ can also be used for red wines, where the sensory profile will have a fruit-driven character and the wine’s spicy notes will be finely pronounced

Chr. Hansen - Viniflora MELODY, application:

MELODY is an active dry yeast that must be rehydrated before use, and this is done as follows:

Rehydration:

Add the yeast to water at a temperature of 20 - 25°C in a ratio of 1:10. It is very important that you are precise regarding the water temperature when the yeast is added, as 2 of the yeast strains; Torulaspora delbrueckii and Kluyveromyces thermotolerans, are far more sensitive to high temperatures than the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Therefore, it is a critical and decisive factor for a successful fermentation that you carefully monitor the water temperature when adding the yeast. A water temperature higher than 25°C can therefore kill large parts of the yeast population.

2. Activation:

Add unsulphured must to the yeast solution in a ratio of 1:3 and allow the mixture to rest for up to 20 minutes.

3. Addition:

When small bubbles become visible on the surface of the yeast/must mixture, the mixture can be added to the tank and stirred or pumped well to ensure the yeast is fully dissolved. Be aware that at low must temperatures in the tank, you should adjust the yeast solution to approximately 20ºC, before adding it to the tank.
