This yeast has good tolerance to ethanol and free sulfur dioxide, and ferments to dryness. Premier Cuvée is noted as a very low producer of foam, urea, and fusel oils. It is recommended for reds, whites, and especially sparkling wines. This yeast is reported to perform well restarting stuck fermentations. Winemakers have remarked that Premier Cuvée is the fastest, cleanest, and most neutral fermenter offered by Lesaffre. Ferments best between 7degree-35degreeC (45degree-95degreeF) although best around 68degreeF. 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 (20degreeC, 68degreeF) is up to 2 years. If kept refrigerated (4degreeC, 45degreeF), 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. ## Features - 500 gram package - Active dry wine yeast ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075XRR4CH | | ASIN | B075XRR4CH | | Best Sellers Rank | #254,859 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #121 in Winemaking Yeasts & Cultures | | Brand Name | Red Star | | Coin Variety 1 | Yeast | | Color | Red | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 3.3 3.3 out of 5 stars (8) | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.51 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Fermentis | | Manufacturer | Fermentis | | Number of Items | 500 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | Does Not Apply | | Product Dimensions | 3.5 x 2.75 x 5 inches; 1.1 Pounds | | Size | 19.304 cm | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 799209135674 | | UPC | 799209135674 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Units | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Red Star - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 500 Grams - **Number of Items:** 500 - **Unit Count:** 1.00 Count ## Images ![Red Star Premier Cuvee 500g Brick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I37Mh4sNL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Red Star Premier Cuvee 500g Brick - Isopropyl Alcohol Grade 91% - 4 Gallon - Made in USA - --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60379928-red-star-premier-cuvee-500g-brick](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60379928-red-star-premier-cuvee-500g-brick) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
