Lallemand UVAFERM BDX™ | Bordeaux Red | Dry Wine Yeast

    Description

    • BDX is the yeast of choice for winemakers looking to craft bold, structured red wines with rich complexity and deep color
    • Whether perfecting a Cabernet Sauvignon, enhancing the fruit-forward nature of Merlot, or refining a Bordeaux blend, BDX delivers consistency, elegance, and aging potential in every batch
    • Enhanced structure and rich complexity for bold red wines

    BDX is a premium wine yeast strain specifically developed for full-bodied red wines that require enhanced structure, color stability, and aromatic complexity. Ideal for Bordeaux varietals, this strain excels at promoting deep color extraction and well-rounded tannin integration. Its robust fermentation capabilities ensure complete attenuation, even in high-sugar musts, while preserving the varietal characteristics and complexity of the wine.

    • Deep Color Extraction: Promotes high anthocyanin stability for vibrant, long-lasting color.
    • Enhanced Tannin Structure: Supports smooth tannin development and mouthfeel integration.
    • Alcohol Tolerance: Effective up to 16% ABV, allowing for strong, full-bodied wines.
    • Temperature Range: Performs optimally between 64°F (18°C) and 86°F (30°C), perfect for achieving rich complexity.
    • High Flocculation: Contributes to excellent clarity post-fermentation.
    • Minimal SO₂ Production: Reduces the risk of off-flavors, preserving natural aromatics.

    Applications

    • Cabernet Sauvignon: Boosts boldness and enhances tannin structure for optimal aging.
    • Merlot & Malbec: Promotes fruit intensity and smooth mouthfeel while enhancing complexity.
    • Cabernet Franc: Elevates spice and berry notes with refined tannins.
    • Bordeaux Blends: Perfect for crafting structured, age-worthy blends with balanced tannins and vibrant color.

    Flavor Profile

    • Dark Fruit Expressions: Highlights blackberry, plum, and black cherry with layered depth.
    • Spice and Tobacco Notes: Accentuates hints of black pepper, cedar, and dark chocolate.
    • Smooth Tannin Integration: Creates a well-rounded mouthfeel with structured complexity.
    • Aging Potential: Supports development over time, enhancing depth and smoothness.

    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 grams per liter) for optimal fermentation and tannin extraction.
    • Nutrient Addition: Supplement with yeast nutrients, particularly in low-nitrogen musts, to avoid sluggish fermentation.
    • Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 64°F and 86°F to promote deep color and structured tannins.
    • Extended Maceration: Ideal for longer maceration periods to intensify flavor and tannin complexity.
