Lalvin RC212
Lalvin Bourgorouge RC212 is a stellar yeast for producing Burgundy style Red Wines. Due to the limited polyphenol adsorption on its cell wall, this yeast promotes the stabilization of the color and tannins during fermentation.
The RC 212 is recommended for red varieties where full extraction is desired.
Lighter red varieties also benefit from the improved extraction while color stability is maintained throughout fermentation and aging. Aromas of ripe berry and fruit are emphasized while respecting pepper and spicy notes.
RC212 consistently produces Pinot noirs, Gamay, Zinfandel and other Red Wines with good structure, ripe berry, bright fruit and spicy characteristics.
Recommended Styles: Burgundy Style Red Wines, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Gamay, Cabernet Franc/Sauvignon
