Lalvin RHÔNE 2226™ | Dry Wine Yeast | 500 g

    Description

    • RHÔNE 2226™ is the perfect choice for winemakers aiming to craft bold, structured Rhône-style wines with exceptional depth, color, and aging potential
    • Whether you're perfecting a classic GSM blend, refining a robust Syrah, or aging a powerful Zinfandel, RHÔNE delivers unmatched character and complexity in every vintage
    • Elevate the boldness and complexity of Rhône-style wines

    LALVIN RHÔNE 2226™ is a robust wine yeast strain specifically selected to enhance aromatic intensity, color extraction, and tannin structure in classic Rhône-style red wines. Renowned for its ability to amplify dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, RHÔNE 2226 brings out the full-bodied character and layered complexity expected from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and blended GSM styles. Perfect for winemakers seeking to craft expressive, age-worthy reds with remarkable depth and balance.

    • High Polyphenol Extraction: Enhances color intensity and tannin structure, contributing to long-lasting hues and bold mouthfeel.
    • Aromatic Complexity: Promotes intense expressions of blackberry, plum, black cherry, and hints of spice.
    • Alcohol Tolerance: Ferments up to 17% ABV, ensuring complete attenuation even in high-Brix musts.
    • Temperature Range: Performs optimally between 59°F (15°C) and 82°F (28°C), maximizing flavor extraction and aromatic development.
    • Low H₂S and SO₂ Production: Ensures clean, pure fruit expression with minimal off-flavors.
    • Short Lag Phase & High Fermentation Vigor: Initiates fermentation rapidly and maintains consistent kinetics.

    Applications:

    • Rhône Reds: Perfect for Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and GSM blends, bringing out deep fruit expression and firm tannins.
    • Full-Bodied Reds: Ideal for Zinfandel, Malbec, and Petite Sirah, where bold structure and layered complexity are desired.
    • Barrel-Aged Wines: Exceptional for wines destined for oak aging, enhancing notes of spice, leather, and toasted oak.
    • Fortified Reds: Performs exceptionally well in Port-style and Amarone-style wines, supporting high alcohol levels and fruit concentration.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Dark Fruit Dominance: Bold expressions of blackberry, black cherry, and plum create a rich, fruit-forward profile.
    • Spice & Earthiness: Subtle layers of black pepper, anise, and leather add depth and complexity.
    • Silky Tannins: Promotes smooth, well-structured tannins, providing excellent aging potential.
    • Deep Color Stability: Supports anthocyanin preservation, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting color.

    Usage:

    • Rehydration: Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of chlorine-free water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes. Stir gently to avoid clumping.
    • Pitch Rate: Use 1–1.5 grams per gallon (0.25–0.4 grams per liter) for optimal fermentation and flavor development.
    • Nutrient Addition: Supplement with yeast nutrient to enhance fermentation kinetics and prevent sluggish behavior.
    • Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 59°F and 82°F to optimize polyphenol extraction and aromatic preservation.
    • Extended Maceration: Ideal for long maceration periods to extract deeper color, tannin complexity, and aromatic richness.
