IOC GAIA™ | Non-Saccharomyces Dry Wine Yeast | 500 g

    Description

    • GAIA is the ideal solution for winemakers focused on crafting expressive, aromatic wines with natural clarity and a refined finish
    • Whether creating a fresh rosé or a nuanced Viognier, GAIA delivers purity, elegance, and balance in every glass
    • Harness the essence of nature with elegant aromatics and balanced structure

    GAIA is a premium wine yeast strain developed to enhance aromatic expression, mouthfeel, and fermentation consistency across a wide range of wine styles. Inspired by the harmony of nature, GAIA brings forth vibrant notes of stone fruit, citrus zest, and floral undertones, all while delivering a smooth, well-rounded body. With its clean fermentation profile and reliable kinetics, GAIA is ideal for winemakers seeking purity, elegance, and expressive fruit character.

    • Enhanced Aromatic Complexity – Promotes bright expressions of peach, apricot, and citrus, layered with subtle floral notes.
    • Silky Mouthfeel – Stimulates polysaccharide and glycerol production for a full, rounded palate.
    • Clean Fermentation – Low volatile acidity and minimal SO₂ production help preserve fruit clarity and freshness.
    • Alcohol Tolerance – Effective up to 15% ABV, suitable for a wide range of musts.
    • Temperature Range – Performs best between 57°F (14°C) and 68°F (20°C), supporting gentle, expressive fermentations.
    • Medium Flocculation – Settles well post-fermentation, reducing sediment and aiding clarity.

    Applications:

    • White Wines – Enhances fruit and floral intensity in Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio.
    • Rosé Wines – Elevates notes of strawberry, peach, and citrus for a fresh, vibrant profile.
    • Aromatic Whites – Ideal for Viognier, Gewürztraminer, and Chenin Blanc where floral complexity is desired.
    • Light Red Wines – Suitable for Pinot Noir and Gamay, emphasizing red fruit brightness and smooth tannins.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Stone Fruits – Peach, apricot, and nectarine provide a ripe and vibrant core.
    • Citrus & Floral Notes – Lemon zest, orange blossom, and honeysuckle add aromatic lift.
    • Balanced Acidity – Maintains crispness and structure with a clean finish.
    • Silky Texture – Promotes a rounded mouthfeel that enhances drinkability and elegance.

    Usage:

    • Rehydration – Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of chlorine-free water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes. Stir gently to prevent clumping.
    • Pitch Rate – Use 1–1.5 grams per gallon (0.25–0.4 g/L) depending on must composition.
    • Nutrient Addition – Recommended in low-nitrogen musts to ensure healthy fermentation and full attenuation.
    • Fermentation Temperature – Maintain between 57°F and 68°F to preserve fruit and floral aromatics.
    • Cold Fermentation – Ideal for cool fermentation regimes where fresh aromatics and refined texture are prioritized.
