Enhanced fresh fruit, spice, and tannin integration
LALVIN ELIOS 1® is best suited for Mediterranean, Rhône style, and other warm climate red wines where it is known for enhancing red fruit aromas, spice, and tannin intensity.
-
Wines have an integrated mouthfeel with good mid-palate intensity, decreased drying sensations, and increased freshness
-
Can reduce the perception of green and vegetative characters
-
Selected due to its fast implantation and reliable malic acid degradation
-
Has a high capacity for acetaldehyde degradation. Because acetaldehyde strongly binds SO2, using ELIOS 1 may help keep more SO2 in the free form and therefore make post-MLF SO 2 additions more effective
