Lalvin EC-1118 is one of the most reliable and widely used yeast strains in winemaking and fermentation. Originally isolated from Champagne, this yeast is prized for its strong fermentation power, neutral flavour profile, and excellent alcohol tolerance.

EC-1118 performs exceptionally well under challenging conditions, including low temperatures, low nutrient environments, and high sugar musts. It ferments cleanly and thoroughly, making it a top choice for sparkling wine, still wine, cider, mead, and restarting stuck fermentations.

This yeast produces minimal foam and low volatile acidity, allowing the natural character of the fruit or juice to shine through.

Description

The EC-1118 strain was isolated, studied and selected from Champagne fermentations. Due to its competitive factor and ability to ferment equally well over a wide temperature range, the EC-1118 is one of the most widely used yeasts in the world.
Microbiological Properties:
The fermentation characteristics of the EC-1118 — extremely low production of foam, volatile acid and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) — make this strain an excellent choice.
This strain ferments well over a very wide temperature range, from 10° to 30°C (50° to 86°F) and demonstrates high osmotic and alcohol tolerance. Good flocculation with compact lees and a relatively neutral flavor and aroma contribution are also properties of the EC-1118.
The EC-1118 strain is recommended for all types of wines, including sparkling, and late harvest wines and cider. It may also be used to restart stuck fermentations.
