Red Star Pasteur Champagne (Davis #595), a strain of Saccharomyces bayanus, has been derived from a pure culture slant of the Institute Pasteur in Paris. This strain has been widely used in the U.S. since about 1968. It is a strong fermenter with very good ethanol tolerance, and will readily ferment musts and fruit juices to dryness. This yeast has good tolerance to sulphur dioxide. Its use is recommended for all white wines, some reds and for fruit juices. Although this yeast is somewhat flocculent, it is not commonly used for sparkling wines. Pasteur Champagne has been recommended by several sources for restarting "stuck" fermentations. Red Star Active Dry Wine yeast is grown on cane and beet molasses under highly aerobic conditions, which assures better survival of live cells toward the end of the fermentation than yeasts grown in must under anaerobic conditions. All of Red Star wine yeast strains have been adapted to perform well in the presence of normal levels of SO2. Red Star yeast is dried under carefully controlled conditions in an airlift drier to assure a high live cell count and to permit ease of rehydration. 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.
