Yeast lalvin ICV-D47

For complex whites with citrus and floral notes

Lalvin ICV-D47 is a Côtes du Rhône isolate from Suze-la-Rousse for the production of full-bodied barrel fermented Chardonnay

This yeast is a high polysaccharide producer known for its accentuated fruit and great volume. On most of the white grape varieties, this yeast elaborates wines with ripe stable fruits or jam-like aromas.

Thanks to these aromas, the cuvées fermented with the Enoferm ICV-D47 are a good source of complexity in the blends. Moreover Enoferm ICV-D47 contributes to the wines silkiness and persistence.

Excellent results are particularly obtained for the production of top-of-the-range Chardonnay fermented in barrels, especially when blended with Lalvin ICV-D21 fermented chardonnays.

Recommended Styles: Mead, White Wines, Chardonnay
