Why choose Premier Prestige?

  • Specifically crafted for white and rosé wines, especially those that benefit from an aromatic lift (e.g., Chardonnay, Grenache rosé) or varieties rich in thiols and terpenes (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard, Syrah rosé, Muscat, Pinot Gris).
  • Promotes release of volatile aroma precursors from the must, generating expressive tropical- and citrus-driven aromas such as passionfruit and grapefruit.
  • Enhances wine body, adding volume and roundness while helping to mask minor green or astringent characters.
  • Very flexible: operates across a broad temperature range (~10–30 °C / 50–86 °F) and tolerates alcohol levels up to around 15%.
  • Low nitrogen (YAN) requirement (~160-180 ppm) means simpler nutrient demands for clean ferments.

Pairing Recommendations

Ideal for crisp, expressive whites and rosés where you want the fruit and varietal character to shine: think Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay (especially for style-enhancement), and lighter rosé blends. Also a viable option for sparkling base wines or when you’re aiming for aroma-driven, fruit-forward styles.
