White Wine

Rosé Wine

16 % Low Enhances varietal aromas Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet Lalvin ICV D21® was isolated in 1999 from the Pic Saint Loup Languedoc “terroir” during a special regional program run by the Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV) Natural Micro-Flora Observatory and Conservatory. ICV D21® was selected for fermenting red wines with stable color, intense fore-mouth, mid-palate tannin structure, and fresh aftertaste. Unlike most wine yeasts, ICV D21® contributes both higher acidity and positive polyphenol-reactive polysaccharides. Strong interactions of the polysaccharides with the floral and fruity volatile compounds contribute to a more stable aromatic profile in the mouth. These attributes avoid the development of cooked jam and burning-alcohol sensations in highly mature and concentrated Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. During fermentation, ICV D21® produces very few sulfides, and it is also noted for its good fermentation performance, even under high temperature and low nutrient conditions. It allows for the expression of fruit from the grapes while reducing the potential for herbaceous characters in Cabernet sauvignon. When blended with wines fermented with Lalvin ICV D254® and ICV D80®, ICV D21® brings fresher, sustained intense fruit and lively sensations beginning in the fore-mouth and carrying through to the aftertaste. ICV D21® is also used in very ripe white grapes, barrel fermented to develop fresh fruit aromas, volume and acidity that complement wines fermented with Enoferm ICV D47™ in blends. Rosé wines fermented with ICV D21® have enhanced red fruit, fore-mouth volume and balance, making it the perfect blending complement to rosé wines fermented with Lalvin ICV GRE™.

3 % High Bioprotection 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.

Restart Stuck Ferment

17 % Low Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Selected for its exceptional ability to restart stuck fermentations, Uvaferm 43® was chosen from among 33 different isolates that were tested against each other, and from the traditional yeasts typically used to restart stuck fermentations. The stuck fermentations used in the selection process were from wines with high alcohol levels (14.3% with 21 g/L RS) and high free SO2 (35 mg/L). The 43® yeast was recently found to be the most fructophilic yeast when compared to other yeasts promoted as being fructophilic. It is classified as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus.
Uvaferm BDX™ Bordeaux region selection - France Saccharomyces cerevisaie cerevisiae Red Wine

16 % Moderate Enhances varietal characters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet A French isolate used extensively in California and Australia since the late 1980s, Uvaferm BDX™ has perfect fermentation kinetics and does not generate a lot of heat during fermentation. It is highly recommended for the production of quality red wines, especially Merlot and Cabernet sauvignon, with minimum color loss and enhanced flavor and aroma.
Uvaferm SVG Selected by the ITV Loire Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae White Wine

15 % Moderate Enhances varietal characters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet The ITV, in collaboration with Lallemand, selected Uvaferm SVG™ from the Loire region specifically for the enhancement of typical Sauvignon blanc varietal character, diminished acidity and good fermentation kinetics. SVG™ will metabolize roughly 25% of the malic acid, helping to naturally lower acidity. In tastings of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé wines fermented with different yeasts, those fermented with SVG™ scored higher than the wines fermented with other yeasts commonly used for Sauvignon blanc. These Sauvignon blanc wines were described as having more intensity and a better balance of mineral, citrus and spicy notes. SVG™ is also recommended for aromatic white varieties, such as Riesling or Pinot gris.
Uvaferm VRB Selected by the CIDA, Logrono, La Rioja, Spain Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae Red Wine

Rosé Wine

17 % Moderate Enhances varietal characters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet Uvaferm VRB® was chosen by the CIDA in the Rioja region of Spain to enhance varietal characteristics and ester perception. When fermented with VRB®, red wines, such as Tempranillo, Barbera and Sangiovese, tend to have good color intensity and stability with increased phenolic structure. Its flavor attributes are often described as ripe fruit, jam, hazelnut and dried plums on the finish. With properly integrated nutrition, VRB® has a high alcohol tolerance (up to 17%), short lag phase, steady fermentation rate and low VA production. VRB® produces low amounts of short-chain fatty acids that help reduce vegetative character.
