71B Vi-A-Dry

Pinot Gris, Riesling, Grenache, Rosé, Red French Hybrids, American Cultivars, Fruit Wines

• Isolated and selected by the INRA in Narbonne, France.

• Known for fermenting fruity rosé wines and semi-sweet whites because it produces long-lived aromas that result from the synthesis of relatively stable esters and higher alcohols.

• Softens high acid musts by partially metabolizing malic acid.

• Sensitive to competitive factors and may have difficulty competing with wild flora. Careful rehydration with Go-Ferm or Go-Ferm Protect and early inoculation will help Lalvin 71B^® dominate in competitive conditions.
