Product details

Lalvin BA11™ was selected in 1997 near Estação Vitivinicola de Barraida in Portugal. It has excellent fermentation kinetics, even at low temperatures. It promotes fresh aromatic characteristics and intensifies mouthfeel and lingering flavors in whites, such as Pinot gris. In relatively neutral white varieties, BA11™ encourages the fresh fruit aromas of orange blossom, pineapple and apricot.

Wine bacteria biodiversity driving sensory profiles of red and whites wines

Wine bacteria have a more considerable impact on the wine sensory profile than previously thought. New findings have shown that the genetic diversity within the wine bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is very rich, and that it can have implications on how the wine bacteria perform, especially in terms of revelation of aroma compounds and wine […]
