Lalvin 71B-1122 Nouveau Style Wine Yeast

Lalvin 71B yeast is a versatile option for wine fermentation, known for its ability to produce a fruity, fresh character suitable for Nouveau style wines. It supports a rapid start and complete fermentation across a wide temperature range, helping to achieve reliable results from blush and residual-sugar whites to young red wines. The strain also offers specific advantages for cider and concentrate fermentation by modulating acidity and flavour development.

In addition to its broad applicability, 71B partially metabolises malic acid, which can soften high-acid wines. It also tends to produce esters and higher alcohols, contributing to aromatic complexity in concentrates. For cider made with cooking apples, it can help reduce acidity, broadening its versatility beyond traditional wine fermentation.
