It is one of the wine/cider bacteria's that is very tolerant to SO2. In addition to its excellent wine tolerance, Lalvin VP41 is recognised for its‚ sensory contribution to red berry fruit aroma, late and slow degradation of citric acid and very low production of diacetyl.
Lalvin VP41 was isolated in a hot region of Italy during a European Craft malolactic bacteria selection project for wine bacteria with unique performance and winemaking properties.
