Lalvin R-HST
For flavour rich, cool climate white wine production. Fresh varietal character whilst contributing to body and mouthfeel. The yeast Lalvin R-HST™ (Riesling Heiligenstein) was selected from Riesling grapes from the prestigious Heiligenstein region, close to the Donau Valley, on the Western side of Vienna (Austria). It was selected for its excellent oenological properties when fermenting Riesling grapes. With appropriate nutrition Lalvin R-HST™ enhances fresh varietal characters producing crisp citrus, lime, floral and mineral notes. It also contributes to mouthfeel and palate weight. This yeast is known for its contribution to overall complexity and elegance. Experience using this yeast under Australian conditions suggest that the best results are obtained when the fruit is harvested below 12° Baume.
