Product details

LALVIN ICV OKAY™ is the result of a collaboration between the scientific Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV) group, Lallemand, Sup’Agro and the INRAE Montpellier. The innovation is based on successive backcrosses of an excellent fermenting wine yeast and a yeast with very low production of sulfur compounds such as H2S. The resulting LALVIN ICV OKAY™ yeast combines reliable fermentation performance and very low production of SO2, H2S and acetaldehyde. Very malolactic-bacteria compatible.

Selected by ICV, INRAE and SupAgro Montpellier, France
