Lallemand | LalVin VP41™ | Dry Malolactic Bacteria

    Description

    All-purpose strain for enhanced complexity and mouthfeel

    LALVIN VP41® is a flexible and adaptable strain that is appreciated for its ability to enhance aromatic complexity, richness, and mouthfeel in different styles of red, white, and rosé wines.

    • White wines have elevated tropical fruit flavors, apple and pear notes, and very low levels of diacetyl
    • Rosé wine aromas are respected and adaptable based on varietal and fermentation aromas
    • Red wines have increased currant and berry flavors and aromas, with enhanced coffee and chocolate notes and sweet tannins
    • Recommended strain for restarting stuck malolactic fermentations
    • At temperatures below 16°C (61°F) it may be slow to start but can complete MLF
    • Selected for its strong implantation rate, steady fermentation kinetics, high alcohol tolerance, enhanced mouthfeel, and ability to improve wine structure
    • Oenococcus oeni isolated in Italy 

     

    Alcohol Tolerance: <16%
    pH: >3.1
    Total SO2: <60ppm

        Lallamand Product used in trials for Co-inoculation for MLF

        Hey, this is the product Lallemand expert used in the MLF coinoculation trials. Report at Lallemand search for "the wine expert: " "The Wine Expert n°4 – Co-inoculation of selected wine bacteria" Note: Article notes "co-inoculationtechniques (bacteria inoculation 1 day after yeast) with VP41MBR® culture"

        VP41 always works for me

        This has always started MLF within a day or two and finished completely. I am even able to split the 2.5g and add just 0.21g per "5-gallons". I typically sprinkle on top of each 70 pound batch of red wine after fermentation and a day or two before pressing.

        It's a great one to use for a fast and complete MLF and for Co-inoculation.

        VP-41 Dry Malolactic

        I have used VP-41 for a few years and always found it to work well. I usually have 10+ carboys of different red wines that typically have rather low pH. I hydrate one packet of the VP-41 and divide it between all the carboys. Usually MLF has finished in all in 6 to 8 weeks.
