Product details

LALVIN RHÔNE 2226™ enhances varietal flavour and aroma (black fruit), contributes to structure, and maintains high colour intensity. Can also be used for certain white varieties (eg Semillon) from warmer regions. A vigorous fermenter, tolerates 18% v/v alcohol. Given its tolerance to high alcohol, this yeast is recommended for the fermentation of high sugar red wines and late harvest wines. LALVIN RHÔNE 2226™ contributes to wine quality by enhancing varietal aroma expression and tannin structure and maintains a high colour intensity.
