LALVIN 71B™
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae)
Product details
LALVIN 71B™ was isolated by the INRAE (National Agricultural Research Institute) in Narbonne, France; 71B™ is used for making blush and semi-sweet wines with tropical fruit character. Long-lived aromas are due to its production of relatively stable esters and higher alcohol levels; 71B™ also softens high acid musts by partially metabolizing malic acid. Very malolactic-bacteria compatible.
