Description
Lalvin Rhône 4600 500 g – wine yeast for fruity white and rosé
Lalvin Rhône 4600 is an active dried wine yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from Lallemand. It is best suited to fruit-forward white wines, rosé wines and fruit cider where you want a round, full structure. The 500 g pack is made for wineries, cideries and others who ferment large volumes.
The strain was selected by Inter-Rhône from Viognier must in France. It produces high levels of esters with notes of apricot and tropical fruit, especially when fermented cool. High polysaccharide and glycerol production gives wines with good weight and less bitterness. Lallemand highlights Rhône varieties such as Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, as well as Chardonnay.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
