Application

Lalvin CY3079® was selected by the BIVB with the objective of finding a strain that would complement typical white Burgundy styles. It is a steady, slow fermenter even at cold temperatures (13°C). This strain benefits from using Go-Ferm® and Fermaid K/E®. When properly fed, Lalvin CY3079® has good alcohol tolerance (up to 15%) and is a low producer of VA and H2S. It is recommended for barrel fermented Chardonnay and aging on lees. Chardonnays produced with Lalvin CY3079® have rich, full mouthfeel and are characterized by aromas of fresh butter, almond, honey, white flowers and pineapple
