The V1116 has been isolated in 1972 by Pierre Barre of the INRA Montpellier. When fermented at low temperatures (below 16°C) and with the right addition of nutrients. V1116 is one of the more floral ester producing yeast (isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate). These esters bring fresh, floral aromas to neutral varieties or high yield grapes. Among the high ester producers, V1116 is the most resistant to difficult fermentation conditions such as low turbidity, low temperature, and low fatty acid content and will even restart stuck fermentations. V1116 is a proven strain for the fermentation of ice wines. It can also be used for rosé or red wines and even expresses the freshness of white grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc.
Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Styles: Ice Wine, Rosé or Red Wine, White Wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
Properties:
• Competitive factor K2
• Alcohol tolerance up to 18%
• Particularly short lag phase
• Moderate fermentation rate
• Very large range of fermentation temperatures (10 to 35°C)
• Low production of H2S
• Low to average requirement in assimilable nitrogen
• O2 requirement: high (necessary for the synthesis of survival factors)
• Low production of volatile acidity
• Average SO2 production
• Low foam formation
It is recommend to use Go-Ferm nutrient in conjunction with Fermaid K or Fermaid O for yeast rehydration. Technical data sheets for each are below along with some quick guides. Why do you want to use both? Using an analogy… you’re car racing on an oval track and use plain gas (Go-Ferm) for the first half of the race. You’re doing good but you want a little boost to improve performance so you can win big! At the pit stop, you add octane booster (Fermaid) to your fuel and it gave you the extra boost you needed to get that big win.
