I am doing some yeast species and yeast blend trials on some red grape varieties this vintage. I was doing a bit of research on them and found this;

Torulaspora delbrueckii
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Fungi
Phylum: Ascomycota
Class: Hemiascomycetes
Order: Saccharomycetales
Family: Saccharomycetaceae
Genus: Torulaspora
Species: T. delbrueckii
Binomial name
Torulaspora delbrueckii
Lindner, 1904
Torulaspora delbrueckii is a yeast species which is also known as Saccharomyces delbrueckii or Saccharomyces rosei (anamorph called Candida colliculosa)
The genetic analyses have revealed that the various strains treated as Torulaspora delbrueckii actually represent different species (and belong even to different genera, like Debaryomyces, Saccharomyces and Candida). Thus, the criteria of the species T. delbrueckii apparently needed some revision according to the type strain (the strain SANK 50118).
One interesting usage of T. Delbrueckii (and quite possibly one or more of the similar Saccharomyces strains) is in brewing German-style wheat beers. During fermentation the yeast produces noticeable banana-esters and clove-like phenols which impart the distinct aroma typified by these beers.
Could be interesting in a wheat or rye beer.
