WLP720 Sweet Mead/Wine Yeast

Description

White Labs WLP720 Sweet Mead/Wine Yeast is designed for sweet to semi-sweet meads and wines. Fermenting at 70-75°F (21-24°C), it achieves 70-80% attenuation with low-medium flocculation and 12-15% ABV tolerance. Lower attenuation than champagne yeasts retains natural residual sweetness from honey or fruit. Clean fermentation allows honey and fruit character to shine without competing yeast esters. Moderate alcohol tolerance prevents over-attenuation in lower-gravity batches. Ideal for Sweet Mead, Semi-Sweet Mead, Sweet Wine, Dessert Wine, Sweet Cider, Traditional Mead. Perfect for meadmakers and vintners wanting naturally sweet finish without backsweetening. Balances fermentation and sweetness naturally.
