Lalvin - 71B-1122 Yeast x 5g (Nouveau / White Wine / Red Wine)

Lalvin 71B-1122 is a high ester producer, which gives the wine a characteristic fruity (fruit salad) aroma ideal for producing fresh and fruity "Nouveau" wines.

It is useful to use in 'neutral' grape varieties to increase the expression of fruity character. It produces esters which are described as having a banana and pear aroma.

71B-1122 is highly adsorptive of polyphenolic compounds, limiting red wine tannin which makes this a good yeast to use in early consumption fresh and fruity red wines.

This yeast is also ideal to be used in preservative free wines due to its low nitrogen demand, low H2S and low SO2 production.

 

Dosage
White, red and rosé winemaking: 25 to 40 g/hl

Note: dosage range is based on the must sugar content and sanitary state of the grapes and winery.

How to Use
Rehydrate Lalvin EC-1118 in 5 times its weight of potable water at 40°C. Let stand for at least 20 minutes then gently stir occasionally to break up any clumps. Add to the must.
