VL1
Viognier, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Chardonnay, Traminette, Fruit Wines
S. cerevisiae • cerevisiae
- Zymaflore VL1® was isolated and selected by the Bordeaux Institute of Oenology in France.
- Given sufficient nutrients, VL1’s relatively slow fermentation rate will ferment to dryness with a minimum of H₂S, SO₂ and VA production.
- Notable for its beta-glucosidase activity on bound terpenes. Low decarboxylase activity results in low production of vinyl phenols and helps create wines with superior balance and elegance. Highly recommended for barrel fermented Chardonnay.
- VL1 may be blended with 58W3, Alchemy I, Alchemy II, M2, QA23 or VIN 13 to enhance complexity.
