Lalvin K1-V1116 (K1V)™ Wine Yeast
Description
Lalvin K1-V1116 (K1V) Wine Yeast.
The K1V-1116 wine making yeast strain is a rapid starter with a constant and complete fermentation between 10° and 35°C (50° and 95°F), capable of surviving a number of difficult conditions, such as low nutrient musts and high levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or sugar. The K1V-1116 strain tends to express the freshness of white grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Seyval.
Fruit wines and wines made from concentrates poor in nutrient balance benefit from the capacity of K1V-1116 to adapt to difficult fermentation conditions.
Can be effective at restarting stuck fermentations.
Highly recommended for dry whites, aged reds, and late harvest wines.
