(Cotes-du-Rhone) : Lavlin ICV D-47 is a low-foaming quick fermenter that settles well and forms compact lees at the end of fermentation. This strain tolerates fermentation temperatures ranging from 50 to 86 F. and enhances mouth feel due to complex carbohydrates. Malolactic fermentation proceeds well in wine made with ICV D-47. This strain is recommended for making wines from white varieties such as Chardonnay and Rose, and for persimmon, peach, and mango, and for aromatic wines such as rose petal and woodruff. It is also an excellent choice for producing mead if supplemented with yeast nutrients. One pack is good for up to 5 gallons.
