Description
Oenococcus oeni for enhanced fresh fruit, spice and tannin integration (Red).
LALVIN ELIOS 1™ is suited for Mediterranean, Rhône style and other warm climate red wines for enhanced red fruit aromas, spice, and tannin intensity. Wines have an integrated mouthfeel with good mid-palate intensity, decreased drying sensations and increased freshness. The perception of green and vegetative characters is reduced.
This strain of O. oeni was isolated by the Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV) from a spontaneous malolactic fermentation for its fast implantation and reliable malic acid degradation.
ELIOS 1 has a high capacity to degrade acetaldehyde during malolactic fermentation (MLF) and for a few days after. Since acetaldehyde strongly binds SO2, using ELIOS 1 to reduce acetaldehyde may make post MLF SO2 additions more effective.
