Description
An INRAE Narbonne strain that metabolises 20–40 % of the must's malic acid and pays it back in banana-and-pear amyl esters, so it rounds off a sharp cider or a hard-edged fruit wine. It also adsorbs some polyphenol on its cell wall, softening tannin. Tolerance stops at 14 %, and it needs oxygen early.
