Excellence® STR has excellent fermentation kinetics, allowing it to complete the fermentation within ten to fourteen days, whilst producing low amounts of volatile acidity and H2S. Excellence® STR produces high amounts of various esters: isoamyl acetate (banana), phenylethyl acetate (rose), phenyl-2-ethanol (hyacinth), hexyl acetate (pear). This gives wines with complex aromas. Thiol production is moderate, and helps to underline the wines’ tension.

Excellence® STR produces complex, fresh and fruity wines, even under difficult conditions:

- Alcohol tolerance up to 15% abv,

- Low nitrogen requirement,

- Resistant to low temperatures, up to 12°C,

- Adapted to low turbidities, up to 50 NTU.
