White Labs helps winemakers use native yeasts found in their vineyards and wineries — a process that creates ideal estate wines. 

We have partnered with Prahl Biolab in Denmark, which has worked with French and other European wineries to isolate, clean and purify native yeasts. This process allows wineries to use yeast from past spontaneous fermentations in a more controlled, consistent and reliable manner.

White Labs supplies all the containers and training necessary to collect the yeast. Prahl will isolate the yeast, evaluate its characteristics and develop a genetic footprint. White Labs will bank the yeast in the United States and provide it to the winery as needed.

The results of this process relies on the microbiological diversity of the sample. Please contact White Labs for more complete information about this innovative program, which is particularly suited for estate wineries large and small.
