Red Star Pasteur Champagne is a strong fermenter with good ethanol tolerance, and will readily ferment grape musts and fruit juices to dryness. This strain also has good amount of tolerance to free sulfur dioxide. It will ferment very dry and produce a compact sediment. Another use of this yeast is to carbonate soda kits in the bottle. Recommended Use:...
Montrachet is a strong fermenter, and will readily ferment grape musts and fruit juice to dryness. This strain also has good tolerance to free sulphur dioxide. It is not recommended for grapes that have been dusted with sulfur because of a tendency to produce hydrogen sulfide in the presence of higher concentrations of sulfur compounds. Montrachet is noted for low...
The K1-V1116 yeast strain tends to enhance the freshness of white grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Seyval. Natural fresh fruit aromas are retained longer than with other standard yeast strains. Fruit wines and wines made from concentrates poor in nutrient balance benefit from the capacity of K1V-1116 to adapt to difficult fermentation conditions. It is also very useful for...
The ICV D-47 strain is a low-foaming quick fermenting wine yeast that settles well. This strain enhances mouthfeel due to complex carbohydrates. Malolactic fermentation proceeds well in wine made with ICV D-47. It is recommended for making wines from white varieties such as Chardonnay, and rose wines. This yeast is an excellent choice for producing mead, but for that application...
The 71B strain is used primarily by professional winemakers for young wines such as vin nouveau and has been found to be very suitable for blush and residual sugar whites. For grapes naturally high in acid, the partial metabolism of malic acid helps soften the wine. This yeast also has the ability to produce significant esters and higher alcohols, making...
Red Star Pasteur Red is a strong, even fermenter that produces full bodied reds. This yeast encourages the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas, especially when using grapes of the Cabernet family. It is reported to give character to less robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum development. Recommended Use: red wines Ideal Fermentation Temperature: 64-86...
This yeast has good tolerance to ethanol and free sulfur dioxide, and ferments very dry. Premier Cuve is noted as a very low producer of foam. This yeast is reported to perform well restarting stuck fermentations.
Recommended Use: Dry whites, Champagne, Reds.
Ideal Fermentation Temperature: 45-95 F
Alcohol Tolerance: 18%
Cote des Blancs is a relatively slow fermenter, producing less foam. The yeast requires nutrient addition for most chardonnay fermentations. Cote des Blancs produces fine fruity aromas, and by lowering the fermentation temperature, it can be forced to finish with some residual sugar. Recommended use: Reds, Whites, Sparkling Cuvees, and non-grape fruit wines. Ideal Fermentation Temperature: 64-86 F (17-30 C)....
RC 212 is a low-foaming moderate-speed fermenter and a very low producer of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). This strain is recommended for red varieties where full extraction is desired. Lighter red varieties also benefit from the improved extraction while color stability is maintained throughout fermentation and aging. Aromas of fruit and ripe berry are emphasized while respecting pepper...
Recommended for white wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Chenin blanc, Colombard and Semillon for production of fresh, fruity, clean wines. It enhances aromas of terpernic varietals through its beta-glucosidase activity and is an excellent thiol converter making it a complementary yeast for developing varietal Sauvignon blanc passion fruit character. Recommended for: Fresh, fruity, clean white wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc,...
Lalvin BM 4x4 is based on dynamic synergy of specific yeast strains to optimize the sensory profile of the wine and with reliable fermentation kinetics. This new concept combines the unparalleled advantages of Lalvin BM 45 - known and appreciated around the world for contributing to round mouth feel and stable color - with the capability to consistently complete fermentations...
