These yeasts have been re-packaged from a 500 gram bag in order to make available to the consumer some fine professional wine yeasts.

They are being sold in quantities of 5 for $10 which includes shipping within the contiguous United States.

Here is what I have available:
Lalvin CLOS
Expiration Date: 10-2021
S. cerevisiae • cerevisiae

Notable for its high alcohol tolerance (up to 17% v/v) with a very good implantation rate in difficult conditions.
Ferments over a wide range of temperatures (14–32°C/58–90°F).
Lalvin CLOS® was selected for its ability to enhance aromatic complexity, structure and mouthfeel.
Good compatibility with malolactic bacteria.

Alcohol Tolerance: 17%
Relative Nitrogen: Medium
Temp. Range (°F): 57-90
Fermentation Speed: Fast
Competitive Factor: Yes
Sensory Effect: Enhanced Varietal Character & Mouthfeel
MLF Compatibility: Very Good



Lalvin R2
Expiration Date: 10-2021
S. cerevisiae • bayanus

Riesling
Sauvignon Blanc
Gewürztraminer
Late Harvest
Aromatic Whites

Has excellent cold temperature properties and has been known to ferment in conditions as low as 5°C(41°F).
Tends to produce VA without proper nutrition.
Lalvin R2™ helps produce intense, direct fruit style whites by liberating fruity and floral aromas.
In addition, varietal characters are enhanced by the enzymatic release of aroma precursors.

Alcohol Tolerance: 16%
Relative Nitrogen: High
Temp. Range (°F): 41-90
Fermentation Speed: Moderate
Competitive Factor: Yes
Sensory Effect: Esters
MLF Compatibility: Good



Lalvin W15
Expiration Date: 06-2022
S. cerevisiae • cerevisiae

Gewürztraminer
Riesling
Pinot Gris
Pinot Noir
Syrah
Rosé
Aromatic Whites
Rhône Whites


Its low heat generation during fermentation helps winemakers minimize the potential for temperature spikes and possible H2S problems.
Produces higher levels of glycerol and succinic acid, especially when fermented between 15–20°C(59–68°F), which helps add complexity to the mid-palate.
In white wines, Lalvin W15™ helps retain bright fruit characters while optimizing mouthfeel and balance.
It also performs well with both Pinot Noir and cooler climate Syrah.

Alcohol Tolerance: 16%
Relative Nitrogen: High
Temp. Range (°F): 50-81
Fermentation Speed: Moderate
Competitive Factor: Yes
Sensory Effect: Enhanced Varietal Character & Mouthfeel
MLF Compatibility: Very Good




Lalvin CROSS EVOLUTION
Expiration Date: 11-2021
S. cerevisiae • hybrid

Chardonnay
Gewürztraminer
Pinot Blanc
Riesling
Sauvignon Blanc
Rosé
Rhône Whites
Muscat
Albariño
Aromatic Whites

Ideal for aromatic white and rosé wines with high alcohol potential (15% v/v) and low fermentation temperatures (14°C/58°F).
This strain has reasonably low nitrogen requirements.
Cross Evolution® contributes an increased mouthfeel component resulting in a more aromatic and balanced wine.
Chardonnay wines have shown increased fresh fruit and floral aromas.

Alcohol Tolerance: 15%
Relative Nitrogen: Low
Temp. Range (°F): 58-68
Fermentation Speed: Moderate
Competitive Factor: Yes
Sensory Effect: Enhanced Varietal Character & Mouthfeel
MLF Compatibility: Average




Lalvin D254
Expiration Date: 10-2022
S. cerevisiae • cerevisiae

Cabernet Sauvignon
Syrah
Zinfandel
Sangiovese
Chardonnay,
Petit Verdot
Malbec
Rhône Whites


It has been known to have an alcohol tolerance of up to 16% (v/v) when the fermentation is aerated and the temperature is maintained below 28°C(82°F).
In red wines, Lalvin ICV D254® develops ripe fruit, jam and cedar aromas together with mild spiciness.
On the palate it contributes high foremouth volume, big mid-palate mouthfeel and intense fruit concentration.
When used for white wines (particularly Chardonnay), sensory descriptors include butterscotch, hazelnut and almond aromas.

Alcohol Tolerance: 16%
Relative Nitrogen: Medium
Temp. Range (°F): 54-82
Fermentation Speed: Moderate
Competitive Factor: Neutral
Sensory Effect: Enhanced Varietal Character & Mouthfeel
MLF Compatibility: Very Good
