They work well in the fermentation process and it does not take away from the flavor of the fruit you are using. Review: Good Results - I have been using Red Star Premier Rouge yeast for years now, I get good results with my Zinfandel grapes. ## Features - INCLUDES: 10 Packs (5 g sachets) of Red Star Premier Rouge wine yeast - Manufactured by Fermentis (Lesaffre) and Distributed by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. - This strain guarantees a fast start of the fermentation process, good alcohol resistance (till 15% vol.), complete and regular fermentation kinetic (within 17-30°C / 64-86°F), low volatile acidity and acetaldehyde production under suitable nutritional conditions. - Strain able to improve the softness and the roundness of full-bodied wines thanks to the valorisation of the lightest tannins. Varietal strain adapted to the vinification of Bordeaux grapes: development of “cut herbs” like aromas with Cabernet Sauvignon and “ripen fruits” like aromas with Merlot. Adapted to international market requirements by producing full bodied red wines poor in astringency, production of complex aromas which combined with oak flavors to create a very original organoleptic profile, what can bring character to the lightest wines. - WINE STYLES: Recommended for the vinifications of high-quality red wines aged in oak barrels. Particularly adapted to the production of red wines from Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz grape families and to all full-bodied wines. For long maceration processes with grapes rich in astringent tannins. - DOSAGE: 5g Sachet Makes 20 - 23L; ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: Up to 15%; FERMENTATION TEMPERATURE RANGE: 17-30°C (64-86°F). - USAGE: The rehydration time should be between 20 to 25 minutes. This strain should be rehydrated in ten times its weight of sugared water or in a mixture of one-third of must and two-thirds of water. The mixture temperature should be 38/40°C (100/104°F). Stir during 20 minutes. Slowly sprinkle the culture media into 3 times the weight of the must in order for the yeasts to adapt to their new fermentation media (temperature difference, osmotic pressure, SO2), then wait for 10 minutes. This mixture can be added directly into the fermentation tank with uniform mixing. The difference of temperature between the rehydrated yeast and the tank should not exceed 10°C, optimum being 5°C. - STORAGE: Shelf life of unopened vacuum pack at room temperature (20°C, 68°F) is up to 2 years. If kept refrigerated (4°C, 45°F), shelf life will exceed 2 years. After opening, use within 4 weeks. Store an opened package tightly sealed, under refrigeration, removing as much air as possible. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BHV3HGP3 | | ASIN | B0BHV3HGP3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #58,117 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #27 in Winemaking Yeasts & Cultures | | Brand Name | CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | French cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (131) | | Flavor | Premier Rouge | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5 Grams | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. | | Manufacturer | CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. | | Number of Items | 10 | | Package Dimensions | 7.24 x 3.31 x 0.59 inches; 0.18 ounces | | Size | 0.18 Ounce (Pack of 10) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 628693605199 | | UPC | 628693605199 | | Unit Count | 1.7637 Ounce | | Units | 1.7637 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 5 Grams - **Number of Items:** 10 - **Unit Count:** 1.7637 Ounce ## Images ![Premier Rouge (10Pk) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Qhs0jL74L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product *by S***R on September 11, 2025* These are a gem when making wine.
