Additional Information
Lalvin Yeast ICV-D-47 – 5 grams
A high polysaccharide producer known for its accentuated fruit and volume.
Ideal for barrel fermentation of white wines.
Lalvin ICV D47™ was isolated from must in the Côtes du Rhône region in France by
ICV, Montpellier. Lalvin ICV D47™ was selected from 450 isolates collected between
1986-1990.
The sensory profile of wines made with Lalvin ICV D47™ demonstrate an enhanced
aroma and flavour. This can be partially attributed to high β-glucosidase activity. It
tends to allow the expression of good levels of terpenes, including citronellol, nerol
and geraniol.
Due to the release of polysaccharides into the must during fermentation, this yeast
contributes to a round, soft palate with good weight. This process can also result in the
stability of aromatic compounds.
Highly recommended for the production of premium, barrel fermented Chardonnay.
When left on lees spicy, tropical, citrus notes develop and the wine is said to have a
silky persistence.
Lalvin ICV D47™ yeast was selected from nature and has since been improved using
the Lallemand proprietary process call YSEO
