Description

BA11 was selected in 1997 near Estacao Vitivinicola de Barraida in Portugal. It has excellent fermentation kinetics, even at low temperatures. It promotes clean, aromatic, estery characteristics during fermentation. BA11 intensifies mouthfeel and augments lingering flavors in both still and sparkling white wines. BA11 encourages the fresh fruit aromas of orange blossom, pineapple and apricot. In relatively neutral white varieties BA11 brings out tropical fruit, cream, vanilla and spice. With fruit from hot climates, BA11 can really help to "flesh out" a wine by its' volume and mouthfeel enhancement. This strain is good by itself, as well as being a great structural component to a blend. Best results from 50 to 77 degrees F, and alcohol tolerant to 16%.

Chose this to ferment Viognier. Nice to find it in 8g packs and not the larger boxes.

Possibly my new favorite for whites
I used this yeast for two different white wines, and both had great results. I kept the temperatures on the low end of what they say to do, the aroma, flavor and especially mouthfeel was excellent compared to other white wine yeasts I've used, and I'm looking forward to using it again to really see if this one will become my go-to white wine yeast.

Other yeasts are better
I would not buy this yeast again. According to the Lalvin technical data sheet, it has high nutrient requirements and a lower alcohol tolerance. Both problems for home winemakers because it often results in stuck fermentations. I recommend EC1118, if you have a choice.
