Lalvin ICV D80™
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Product details
LALVIN ICV D80™ was isolated by the Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV) in 1992 from the Côte Rôtie area of the Rhône Valley for its ability to ferment red musts rich in polyphenols. LALVIN ICV D80™ brings high volume, big mid-palate mouthfeel and intense grainy tannin to reds. It is a good choice for barrel aged reds due to the significant impact on structure and good color stability features. It is one of the preferred strains for contributing big tannin volume. To optimize the complexity of red wines, it is recommended that wines fermented with LALVIN ICV D80™ are blended with red wines fermented with ICV D254™. With appropriate nutrition, aeration and fermentation temperatures below 28°C, LALVIN ICV D80™ will ferment up to 16% v/v alcohol. An excellent yeast to optimise volume and is charactrerised by ripe fruit, fresh tobacco aromas and licorice finish.
