Description

Lalvin 71B-1122 is a popular and versatile wine yeast known for producing fruit-forward, aromatic wines with softened acidity. It is especially well suited for fruit wines, rosé, young reds, and carbonic or nouveau-style wines.
This yeast has the unique ability to partially metabolize malic acid, helping to naturally reduce sharp acidity and create a smoother, rounder mouthfeel. Lalvin 71B-1122 ferments reliably and cleanly, making it a favourite for both beginner and experienced winemakers.
Ideal for wines meant to be enjoyed young and fresh, this yeast enhances ester and aromatic expression while maintaining balance.
5g sachet — suitable for small batches or single fermentations.
