Level2 Initia™ Selected by Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin, Burgundy, France Metschnikowia pulcherrima White Wine

Rosé Wine

3 % High Bioprotection Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet LEVEL2 INITIA™ is a non-Saccharomyces yeast (Metschnikowia pulcherrima) selected from nature in Burgundy with the IFV (Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin). LEVEL2 INITIA™ is an innovative and complete bioprotection tool developed to face the challenges of reducing SO2 use in white and rosé prefermentative steps. LEVEL2 INITIA™ is the first bioprotection yeast developed to limit oxidation phenomena in the early steps of winemaking due to its dual action of consuming oxygen and decreasing copper levels. Indeed, LEVEL2 INITIA™ has been selected from more than 100 strains of Metschnikowia pulcherrima for its high dissolved oxygen consumption capacity. When used during pre-fermentative steps, it can partially decrease copper content, known as a catalyzer of oxidation reactions. LEVEL2 INITIA™ has the capacity to control a wide range of undesirable microorganisms. As it is non fermentative and able to grow at low temperatures, LEVEL2 INITIA™ is a great biological tool particularly well adapted to manage prefermentative steps in white and rosé vinification. LEVEL2 INITIA™ is suitable for organic wine production in the EU.
Level2 Solution Flavia™ Selected by the Universitad de Santiago de Chile (USACH) Metschnikowia pulcherrima, White Wine

Rosé Wine

3 % Moderate Enhances varietal aromas and some mouthfeel Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet FLAVIA is a pure culture of Metschnikowia pulcherrima, selected from nature by Universitad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), for its specific property to release enzymes with arabinofuranisidase activity. When used in sequential inoculation with a compatible selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain, FLAVIA will impact on the production of varietal aromas such as terpenes and volatile thiols. It is the enzymatic activity of M. pulcherrima that gives the desired outcomes. The best results are achieved when FLAVIA is sequentially inoculated with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain which is a high terpene / thiol releaser / converter. Suggested varieties include Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Described as freshness with mouthfeel. *See a Lallemand representative to discuss a suitable paired Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Uvaferm SVG Selected by the ITV Loire Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae White Wine

15 % Moderate Enhances varietal character and slightly enhances esters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet The Institut Technique du Vin (ITV), in collaboration with Lallemand, selected SVG from the Loire region specifically for the enhancement of typical Sauvignon Blanc varietal character. Also suited to other aromatic white varieties such as Pinot Gris and Riesling, and generally favoured for the production of fresh fruity white wine styles. In tastings of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume wines fermented with yeasts commonly used for Sauvignon Blanc, the wines fermented with SVG scored higher than those fermented with other yeasts, and were described as having more intensity and a more favoured balance of mineral, citrus and spicy notes. In Australia and New Zealand, SVG is particularly suited to cool climate fruit, giving quality definition and tight structure to Sauvignon Blanc, and has general application to fresh fruity styles. May exhibit some estery and savory notes immediately after fermentation. Has a moderate impact on mouthfeel, and capable of partially degrading malic acid (approx. 25%). Also increases citrus, tropical fruit and fl oral notes in neutral varieties. Properly integrated nutrition (including Go-Ferm Protect at rehydration), and raising fermentation temperature to 20°-22°C near end of ferment is highly recommended to enable steady finish.
