Lalvin 71B® was isolated by the INRA (National Agricultural Research Institute) in Narbonne, France. Lalvin 71B® is known for making blush and semi-sweet wines with a tropical fruit character. Long-lived aromas are due to its production of relatively stable esters and higher alcohols. Lalvin...

This strain was isolated from grapes grown in the Côte de Rhône region of France by Dr. Dominique Delteil, head of the Microbiology Department, Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV), in Montpellier. ICV D-47 strain was selected from 450 isolates collected between 1986 and 1990....

Lalvin EC-1118® is the original and is good for barrel fermentations. It ferments well at low temperatures and flocculates well with very compact lees. Under low nutrients conditions, Lalvin EC-1118® produces a lot of SO2 (up to 30 ppm) and as a result can...

The Lalvin V1116® has been isolated in 1972 by Pierre Barre of the INRA Montpellier. This yeast tends to express freshness of white grape varieties. Natural fresh fruit aromas are retained for a longer time when compared with wines fermented with standard yeasts (such...
