Lalvin DV10 100g

Lalvin DV10 - only available in 100g packs while stocks last.

Sparkling Wine strain for primary and secondary fermentation; ability to perform in stressful conditions; clean and neutral.

Recommended for white and red table wines where a rapid, neutral fermentation is required. LALVIN DV10™ demonstrates strong fermentation kinetics under stressful conditions of low pH, high total SO2 and low temperature. A clean fermenter that respects varietal character, and typically results in softer palate than can be found with other one-dimensional “workhorse” strains. Also recommended for late harvest hites. Compatible for malolactic fermentation.

To "pitch" (add yeast to your wine) rehydrate for 20 minutes first:

• Use room temperature boiled cooled water - 50mls for 5g yeast.
• If you are using it, add GO-FERM® Protect first.
• Then add your yeast.
• Stir gently - it may clump but don't worry about that as it will even out as it rehydrates.
• Leave to sit for 20 minutes.
• Make sure your wine is about the same temperature as the yeast when you stir in the rehydrated yeast.
