Yeast Lalvin- EC 1118 5G

Lalvin EC-1118 is one of the most reliable and widely used yeast strains in winemaking and fermentation. Originally isolated from Champagne, this yeast is prized for its strong fermentation power, neutral flavour profile, and excellent alcohol tolerance.

EC-1118 performs exceptionally well under challenging conditions, including low temperatures, low nutrient environments, and high sugar musts. It ferments cleanly and thoroughly, making it a top choice for sparkling wine, still wine, cider, mead, and restarting stuck fermentations.

This yeast produces minimal foam and low volatile acidity, allowing the natural character of the fruit or juice to shine through.
