Product details

LALVIN RA17™ was selected by the BIVB in the Burgundy region. It is recommended to enhance varietal characters and to obtain fresh, aromatic and supple red wines. To avoid the formation of sulfides, it requires high nutrient levels and will benefit greatly from nutrition during rehydration. When properly fed, LALVIN RA17™ will develop cherry and fruit aromas in varieties like Pinot noir and Gamay. Wines made from LALVIN RA17™ can be blended with wines fermented with LALVIN RC212™, LALVIN BRL97™ or ENOFERM AMH™ to give a more balanced, complex and fuller structure.

Many of us associate volatile thiols with sauvignon blanc, manseng, riesling or colombard. Fewer of us associate them with red wine. Yet thiol precursors are much more frequent in red varietals than could be expected. […]

The use of direct inoculation yeast is less effective and safe than rehydrated yeast

Since the development of active dry yeasts for wine in the 70’s, to get the best of them, the best practice has been to rehydrate them in water at 37 °C for a short time, before inoculation of the juice or must to be fermented. However, there is a new trend for so-called “direct inoculation” […]
