Lalvin K1-V1116 when fermented at low temperatures (16°C) and with the right addition of nutrients, is one of the most floral ester-producing yeasts (Isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate). It’s ester profile and hardiness makes it a proven strain for the fermentation of ice wines and a good choice for rosé or red wines.
K1-V1116 is the most resistant to difficult fermentation conditions and the esters it produces brings fresh and floral flavours.
