Does yeast matter?
• There are 1000’s of commercially available yeast strains and hybrid yeast strains
• Some yeasts are especially good at producing certain types of aroma and flavor compounds
• With Itasca being a new cultivar, we were curious to see how it would respond to three different yeasts that are known to enhance certain types of aromas and flavors…

Yeasts Used in Trials
• Lallemand DV-10; control yeast, almost neutral
• Lalvin’s “K1” (aka V1116); Esters
• AWRI’s “Alchemy 2”; Thiols
• Laffort’s “VL-1”; Terpenes

Yeast K1 (V1116), Esters
• Fruit-like and fruity aromatics• Ethyl Acetate, the most prominent ester in wine
• A fault at high concentrations• At low concentrations can be desirable, adds fruitiness• Is both an acetate and an ethyl ester
• Acetate esters• Isoamyl: Fruity, Banana• Isobutyl: Fruity, Apple
• Ethyl esters• Hexanoate: Strawberry, Green Apple, Anise• Octanoate: Fruity, Ripe Fruit, “Beer characteristics”• Decanoate: Oily, Fruity, Floral

Yeast Alchemy 2, Thiols• Thiols are Sulphur-containing compounds
that can be either positive or negative.
• Negative thiols can be H2S aromas like rotten egg, or other smoky & skunky aromas, or thioacetic acid esters and mercaptans like onion, garlic, & cabbage
• Positive Thiols are the “Volatile Thiols”• Grapefruit, Passion fruit, Gooseberry, Guava, etc…• “New Zealand” style Sauvignon Blanc, “cat pee”…• They are short-named compounds like:
4-methyl-4-mercaptopentan-2-one, or
4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-ol

Yeast VL-1, Terpenes
• Muscat’s floral and fragrant perfumey aromas are from terpenes
• Riesling and Gewürztraminer also have high levels of terpenes
• Compounds include: Linalool, Geraniol, etc.
• Descriptors include: Floral/Rose, Citrus, Spicy and Coriander

Secondary Malolactic Fermentation
• Non-MLF wines; more crisp, lean, tart, bright, fresh and “zingy”…
• MLF Positive wines; richer, softer, creamier, buttery, more multi-layered and complex…

MLF Results
• Used ML Bacteria VP-41 from Scott labs
• ML+ wines using yeasts VL1 and Alchemy 2 finished MLF quite quickly and completely
• Wines using K1/1116 and DV1- did not complete MLF despite time, temperature, nutrients, stirring, etc.• K1/1116 has a “poor” MLF compatibility rating
• DV10 has a “good” MLF compatibility rating
