Lalvin ICV-K1 (V1116)

Highly recommended for dry whites, aged reds, and late harvest wines.

K1V-1116 strain was the first competitive factor yeast to go into commercial production and has become one of the most widely used active dried wine yeasts in the world.

• Competitive factor K2

• Alcohol tolerance up to 18%

• Particularly short lag phase

• Moderate fermentation rate

• Very large range of fermentation temperatures (10 to 35°C)

• Low production of H2S

• Low to average requirement in assimilable nitrogen

• O2 requirement: high (necessary for the synthesis of survival factors)

• Low production of volatile acidity

• Average SO2 production

• Low foam formation

When fermented at low temperatures (below 16°C) and with the right addition of nutrients, ICV-K1 is one of the more floral ester producing yeasts (isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate).

These esters bring fresh, floral aromas to neutral varieties or high yield grapes.

ICV-K1 is a proven strain for the fermentation of ice wines.
