What's New and Staff Picks: Yeast
Celebrating over 90 Years of Wine Yeast: What's New & Staff Favorites
Yeast convert sugar to alcohol but they can do so much more! At Scott Labs, our mission is to provide robust and reliable yeast strains that optimize quality, aromas, and flavors. This year, we're thrilled to introduce our newest yeast, RUBY™, and highlight some of our team's personal favorites.
NEW YEAST
RUBY™ 
RUBY™ is an innovative yeast with specific metabolic capabilities that can help reveal the maximum level of red thiols with enhanced blackcurrant, raspberries, plums, and spice aromas. The use of STIMULA SYRAH™ during fermentation is recommended to optimize this metabolism.
RUBY™ is ideal for use with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot noir, Tempranillo, Grenache, and Malbec.

After nearly a century of yeast reserach and development, Scott Labs and our parent company, Lallemand, know yeast better than any other producer and are uniquely positioned to assist winemakers in matching strains to their goals and challenges.
STAFF YEAST PICKS
We reached out to a few of our technical sales team members to ask for some of their favorite yeasts. If you have any questions or are just not quite sure which yeast to choose, don't hestitate to reach out to our team.
ERIC MOHSENI - Technical Sales Central Coast 
"LALVIN NBC™ lends a very unique profile and is great for making all kinds of fresh and mineral-driven aromatic white and rosé wines."
MOLLIE FOREST - Regional Sales Manager 
"NT 116™ is super versatile and my clients use it in all styles of wine (whites, reds, rosés). It releases a lot of mannoproteins that help boost mouthfeel and roundness."
MAGGIE MCBRIDE HAWK - Technical Sales Sonoma & Mendocino Counties
"PERSY™ checks all the boxes! It makes fruit-forward red wines in difficult conditions (high alcohol, high temperatures, low nutrients), and it produces little to no H2S and SO2."
ANNAMARIE "ONNIE" HOWARD - Technical Sales Napa County 
"My clients have been blown away by our non-Sacc stain, GAIA™. Acting as a remarkable biocontrol tool, GAIA™ keeps indigenous populations in check and minimizes VA. It's an excellent choice for winemakers who incorporate cold soaks into their process."
About
Scott Laboratories Inc. (USA) and Scott Laboratories Ltd. (Canada) are privately held companies specializing in value-added products and services for the North American wine, craft brewing, and distilled spirits industries.
Our predecessor firm (the Berkeley Yeast Laboratory) was founded in the weeks prior to the end of Prohibition in 1933. Our vision is to provide the best customer service to the specialty beverage community. Our mission is to advance the long-term success of the specialty beverage community by providing best-in-class products and services. We believe in education, honesty, and doing the right thing.
Our first products were lab services and yeast. In the years that followed the needs of our industry customers led us first to cellar supplies, then to packaging and finally into processing and bottling equipment. It has been a 80+ year evolution driven by the concept of adding value.
Our current product portfolios include some of the most famous names in the wine, craft brewing, and spirits industries. In some cases, we have our own proprietary products (such as ScottPlus Dry-Steam Natural Cork and ScottCart filters) while in other cases we work with the industry's leading vendors and suppliers. You can check out virtually all of our offerings on our website at www.scottlab.com.
