Product details

LALVIN SENSY™ is a new generation wine yeast to express the sensory properties of varietal white wines. It has been characterized and selected for its very low capacity to produce H2S, SO2, and acetaldehyde, with the security to complete alcoholic fermentation especially when varietal aroma is sought after. Recommended for Pinot Gris, Semillon, Chardonnay and Colombard. The low acetaldehyde production by LALVIN SENSY™ helps to moderate SO2 use.

Selected by ICV Group, Lallemand oenology, SupAgro and INRA Montpellier collaborative study

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” […]

Wine bacteria biodiversity driving sensory profiles of red and whites wines

Wine bacteria have a more considerable impact on the wine sensory profile than previously thought. New findings have shown that the genetic diversity within the wine bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is very rich, and that it can have implications on how the wine bacteria perform, especially in terms of revelation of aroma compounds and wine […]

Relationships between the wine yeast inoculation method and the composition and sensory profile of wines

By F. Bordet, C. Raynal, A. Ortiz-Julien, A. Silvano, J.M. Heras, A. Dumont Wine yeasts play a crucial role in the winemaking process and are essential to induce and achieve alcoholic fermentation (AF). Different options are available to winemakers, including spontaneous fermentation or fermentations with the use of selected wine yeast. This latter option offers […]
