Vintners Harvest Yeast CY17 – 8g

Vintner’s Harvest CY17 is a white wine yeast selected for aromatic dry and sweet whites, rosé, fruit wines and dessert-style wines. It promotes complex fruit and floral character and is suited to varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat and Zinfandel rosé.

• Sachet size: 8g
• Typical batch: 19–25L
• Recommended fermentation range: 16–24°C
• No separate rehydration required

How to use it

Add directly to the must and stir well, then maintain a steady temperature within the recommended range. CY17 can ferment more slowly than some general-purpose wine strains, so allow adequate time and confirm gravity is stable.

Helpful addition

For low-nutrient musts, use an appropriate dose of Vintner’s Harvest Wine Nutrient according to the recipe and pack directions.

Vintner’s Harvest MA33 is another 8g option for 19–25L batches. Choose CY17 for rich fruit and floral character in white, rosé and country wines; choose MA33 when a high-malic-acid must would benefit from reduced acidity and a fresh fruity profile.
