The Lalvin D47™ strain was isolated from grapes grown in the Côtes-du-Rhône region in France by Dr Dominique Delteil, head of the Microbiology Department, Institut coopératif du vin (ICV), in Montpellier. The ICV D-47 strain was selected from 450 isolates collected between 1986 and 1990.
ICV D-47 is a low-foaming fast yeast that settles well and forms a compact lees at the end of fermentation. This strain tolerates fermentation temperatures between 15° and 20°C (59° and 68°F) and improves mouthfeel thanks to its complex carbohydrates.
Malolactic fermentation proceeds well in wines made with ICV D-47. Recommended for making wines of white varieties such as Chardonnay and rosé wines. An excellent choice for making mead, but make sure to add yeast nutrients, especially usable nitrogen. An excellent choice for dry white wines, blush wines and residual sugar wines.
