White Labs Lallemand 71B Dried Yeast

Lalvin 71B is a wine yeast for nouveau-style wines, vodka, gin, and neutral spirits. It was isolated by Pr. Maugeneta's team at the INRA (National Agricultural Research Institute) in Narbonne, France. Lalvin 71B is a very fast starting strain that produces round, smooth, more aromatic wines that mature quickly, and it owes its success to its abilities to produce amyl ester (isoamyl acetate). Lalvin 71B also softens high acid musts by partially metabolizing malic acid (20%-30%).

Due to variable temperatures and transit times we are unable to guarantee that the yeast will remain at the ideal temperature for the entire journey. For increased protection, we suggest adding ice packs and insulated packaging, available below as optional upgrades. If you are ordering yeast during summertime or are located in a warmer climate, we recommend ordering dry yeast rather than liquid yeast.
