LALVIN RHÔNE 4600™

(Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae)

LALVIN RHÔNE 4600 was selected from Viognier by the Inter-Rhône’s technical department after a three-year study of yeast well suited for fermenting fruit-forward, elegant white and rosé wines. High sugar and low nitrogen musts, when fermented cool (13.5°C) with this yeast, have enhanced apricot and tropical fruit due to strong fatty acid ethyl ester production. Higher roundness with diminished bitterness also makes the LALVIN RHÔNE 4600 a good choice for Rhône white varietals and Chardonnay. Although the LALVIN Rhône 4600 does not enhance the varietal character of Sauvignon blanc or Semillon, this yeast does bring fatness and balance along with light aromatic ester notes as a good blending component.
