Lalvin EC-1118 (Champagne Yeast) has been selected in a famous sparkling wine region for its excellent properties in producing sparkling base wines and for secondary fermentation in the bottle. With very high alcohol tolerance (up to 18%), very low production of foam and volatile acidity, and excellent flocculation, it is the world standard champagne and sparkling wine yeast.

Also ideal for restarting stuck fermentations, fermenting high-sugar musts, and making ciders and country wines where a clean, neutral fermentation is required. Use with Yeast Nutrient. Browse all: Lalvin Yeast Full Range. Compare this against every wine yeast we stock →
