The Lalvin D47 yeast in a 5-gram dry package is a stellar choice for crafting high-quality white and rosé wines, suitable for fermenting up to 6 gallons (23 liters) of must. Renowned for its ability to produce full-bodied and complex wines, D47 is particularly favored for varieties like Chardonnay, Viognier, and Rosé, where it enhances mouthfeel and promotes a rich flavor profile.
This yeast strain is characterized by its contribution to the wine's structure, imparting a silky texture and elevating the varietal aromatics. It encourages the development of stable aromatic compounds, which results in wines with intense floral and fruit notes, balanced by a pleasant creaminess on the palate.
Lalvin D47 maintains a consistent fermentation performance, even in relatively cool temperature ranges, making it a reliable choice for winemakers seeking to achieve precise flavor profiles. Its ability to enhance the aging potential of the wine, by promoting complexity and integrated flavors, makes it a preferred yeast for those aiming to produce wines with depth and longevity.
