LALVIN ICV GRE™

(Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae)

In 1992, LALVIN ICV GRE was selected from the Cornas area of the Rhône Valley. In reds, it contributes up-front fruit to easy-to-drink Rhône-style wines. LALVIN ICV GRE is used with short skin contact regimes (3 to 5 days) to reduce vegetal and undesirable sulfur components in varieties like Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah. In fruit-focused whites like Chenin blanc, Riesling and Viognier, LALVIN ICV GRE results in stable fresh-fruit characteristics and delivers a big fore-mouth impact. If the fruit maturity is less than optimum, LALVIN ICV GRE is excellent for bringing overall balance to red, rosé and white wines. Rosé wines fermented with LALVIN ICV GRE from more balanced maturity fruit emphasize red fruit and higher volume, and are complemented by blending rosés fermented with LALVIN ICV D21.
