Lalvin Rhône 2056™
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Product details
A Côtes du Rhône isolate, LALVIN RHÔNE 2056™ was selected by the IFV - Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin and CICDRVT from over 1400 yeasts for its ability to maintain and enhance varietal fruit aromas and flavours of Côtes du Rhône varieties. Contributes to complexity of red fruits, spiciness, and maintains red wine colour. It produces high levels of β-damascenone which contributes to floral aromas and enhances fruit perception. LALVIN RHÔNE 2056™ assists in the extraction of anthocyanins from red grapes and also protects the colour due to low activity of β-glucosidase. Excellent for forward fruit style reds, and also provides aromatic expression in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon.
