Melody

Chr. Hansen was the first company to investigate the promising field ‘non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae’ mixed culture blends in winemaking. Chr. Hansen’s range of specialty yeasts brings a distinctive touch to wines, helping winemakers to differentiate their wine and add complexity.

For added convenience, Chr. Hansen offers their non-Saccharomyces yeast strains in a mixed cultures format. Vinilfora® Melody™ is a blend of three yeast stains, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (60%), Torulaspora delbrueckii (20%) and Lachancea thermotolerans (20%). Melody is well suited for dry white wines and high end Chardonnay.
