Product details

Lalvin V1116 ™ was isolated in 1972 by Pierre Barre of the INRA Montpellier. V1116 ™ tends to express the freshness of white grape varieties. Natural fresh fruit aromas are retained for longer, compared to wines fermented with standard yeast (such as Prise de Mousse). When fermented at low temperatures (below 16°C) and with the right addition of nutrients, V1116 ™ is one of the more flowery ester producers (isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate and phenyl ethyl acetate). Among the high ester producers, V1116 (K1)™ is the most resistant to difficult fermentation conditions, such as low turbidity, low temperature and low fatty acid content. V1116 ™ is recommended for the fermentation of icewines. It can also be used for rosé or basic red wines. Not malolactic-bacteria compatible. Low vinyl phenol production (POF-).

The use of direct inoculation yeast is less effective and safe than rehydrated yeast

Since the development of active dry yeasts for wine in the 70’s, to get the best of them, the best practice has been to rehydrate them in water at 37 °C for a short time, before inoculation of the juice or must to be fermented. However, there is a new trend for so-called “direct inoculation” […]
