Product details
LALVIN 71B™ is a high ester producer (mainly isoamyl acetate) which gives the wine a characteristic fruity aroma and enhances the aromatic profile of neutral grape varieties. A popular strain for production of fresh fruity red wines, including those for early consumption. LALVIN 71B™ adsorbs a part of the polyphenolic compounds on its cell wall, and limits the harshness of the tannic structure of primeur red wines. It can metabolise a portion of the malic acid in musts, softening the wine palate.
