Fermivin LVCB

MINERAL, FRESH and AROMATIC WINES

Purpose

Fermivin® LVCB yeast is ideal for fermenting highly clarified must from 12 °C / 54 °F upwards, with high potential alcohol content.

It promotes optimum expression of fruity, fresh aromas.

Fermivin LVCB, a very robust strain, can be used for secondary fermentation.

These properties make it perfect for varieties like Sylvaner, Pinot gris and blanc or Chardonnay.

Science and Technology

Fermivin LVCB’s metabolism of lipids and amino acids promotes fermentation ester synthesis in highly clarified must.
Fermivin LVCB produces very little isoamylacetate and releases moderate levels of thiol and terpene varietal aromas.
The resulting wine is therefore characterized by very intense fruity aromas and remarkable minerality.
