High Alcohol Wines: How to Manage Primary and Secondary
Fermentation
Presented by:Jessica Just of Scott Laboratories
andSigrid Gertsen-Briand of Lallemand
Winemaking Goals in a High Sugar Ferment
• Convert all sugar to alcohol
• Minimize the production of volatile acidity
• Minimize volatile sulfur off-aromas
• Balance % alcohol with phenolic maturity
• Complete the malo-lactic conversion in a timely manner
• Minimize microbial deviations

Survival factors are important to ensuring the proper working of the cellular membrane: poly-unsaturated
fatty acids and sterols

Higher yeast inoculation rate lowers dilution of the initial yeast

What to Know Before Restarting a Stuck Alcoholic Fermentation
• Total residual sugar
• Glucose:Fructose ratio
• What caused the stuck fermentation
• Which yeast strain was used for the initial fermentation
• Temperature control
Dealing with a Stuck Alcoholic Fermentation
• Refer to websites for actual protocols• Blend• Sterile Filter• Long acclimatization, build-up with sugar• Short acclimatization with high inoculation rate• How many times should you try to restart a stuck
ferment? When can you start tasting the yeast?• Use of yeast hulls• Addition of nutrients?

Alcohol content (% v/v) reached after fermentation in white wines with 56 selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts
that were able to ferment all sugars.
Alcohol content (% v/v) reached after red vinifications with 35 selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts that were
able to ferment all sugars.
