Lalvin White Wine (ICV/D-47)
£1.59

Yeast

This strain was isolated from grapes grown in the CÙtes-du-RhÙne region of France by Dr. Dominique Delteil, head of the Microbiology Department, Institut coopÈratif du vin (ICV), in Montpellier. ICV D-47 strain was selected from 450 isolates collected between 1986 and 1990. The ICV D-47 is a low-foaming quick fermenter that settles well, forming a compact lees at the end of fermentation. This strain tolerates fermentation temperatures ranging from 15_ to 20_C (59_ to 68_F) and enhances mouthfeel due to complex carbohydrates. Malolactic fermentation proceeds well in wine made with ICV D-47. Recommended for making wines from white varieties such as Chardonnay and rosÈ wines. An excellent choice for producing mead, however be sure to supplement with yeast nutrients, especially usable nitrogen. An excellent choice for dry whites, blush wines and residual sugar wines.

Rehydrate ICV-D47 in 5 times its weight of water at 40_C. Let stand for at least 20 minutes then gently stir occasionally to break up any clumps. Add to the must.
