Lalvin QA23 was selected in Portugal by the University of Tras os Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) in cooperation with Viticultural Commission of Vinhos Verdes region.Lalvin QA23TM has a very high β-glucosidase activity, an enzyme which helps to cleave non-volatile aromatic compounds into their volatile state. Hence this yeast contributes to varietal / terroir fruit expression. Its use for Sauvignon Blanc is therefore highly recommended. Known for its reliability and robustness, Lalvin QA23 tends to ferment well in clarified juice, low in nutrients. GRAPE VARIETY PAIRING: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Gewürztraminer, Muscadelle, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Semillon, Viognier and Roussanne. WINE STYLES: Varietal aromatic white wines. Useful for a wide range of applications, including mead and fruit cider fermentations. AROMA: Fresh passion fruit / pineapple. ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: Up to 16% FERMENTATION RANGE: 14-28°C (57-82°F) INOCULATION RATE: 0.2-0.4g/L Data Sheet

Lalvin 71B Wine Yeast
Lalvin 71B has been isolated and selected by INRA Narbonne (France), for its ability to produce a high level of esters (isoamyl ester), allowing it to reinforce the aromatic profile of wines fermented from neutral varieties. Lalvin 71B has the capacity to absorb polyphenolic compounds on its cellular wall which limits tannin structure of young and fresh red wine. Grape must inoculated with Lalvin 71B will easily go through malolactic fermentation, as 20-40% of malic acid can be metabolized by this yeast strain during primary fermentation. Lalvin 71B is the perfect choice to create young, fresh and fruity red, rosé and white wines that are easy to drink. It is also a good choice for late harvest wines. GRAPE VARIETY PAIRING: Cabernet Franc, Gewürztraminer, Grenache, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Viognier, Zinfandel and Gamay. WINE STYLES: Red, rosé and white young, fresh and fruity wine with smooth tannin structure as well as fruit ciders. AROMA: Tropical fruit and banana flavor. ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: Up to 14% FERMENTATION RANGE: 15-30 °C (59-86 °F) INOCULATION RATE: 0.2-0.4g/L Data Sheet

Lalvin K1-V1116 Wine Yeast
Lalvin K1 (V1116) has been selected by INRA Montpellier located in France in the Mediterranean region. When fermented at low temperatures (below 16°C) and with the right addition of nutrients, Lalvin K1 (V1116) is one of the yeast producing the most floral esters (isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate). These esters bring fresh floral aromas to neutral varieties or high-yield grapes. Among the high ester producers, Lalvin K1 (V1116) is the most resistant strain in difficult fermentation conditions, such as low turbidity, low temperature and low fatty acid content. Lalvin K1 (V1116) is also a proven strain for the fermentation of ice wines. GRAPE VARIETY PAIRING: Brings fresh floral aromas to neutral varieties or high-yield grapes. WINE STYLES: Aromatic red, white, late harvest and sparkling wines. AROMA: Flowery ester (isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate). ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: Up to 18% FERMENTATION RANGE: 10-35°C (50-95°F) INOCULATION RATE: 0.2-0.4g/L Data Sheet
