CLOS™
ORIGIN AND APPLICATION
Lalvin CLOS™ has a high alcohol tolerance and wide fermentation
temperature range. Respects varietal character, adds complexity and
minerality to red wines.
A selection from the prestigious Spanish Priorat region. Lalvin CLOS™ was
selected by the University of Rovira / Virgili in Spain (Biotechnologia Enologica
de la Facultad de Enologia de Tarragona). The selection criterion of the yeast
was to preserve the typical characteristics of wines from the Priorat D.O.C,
where the musts have low nutrient status, high polyphenolic levels and high
potential alcohol. It was also deemed important that the yeast respected and
expressed the minerality of the terroir.
Initially, expansive winery trials conducted with Carignan, Grenache, Shiraz,
Zinfandel and Tempranillo grapes confirmed the yeasts potential as an excellent
tool to enhance aroma complexity, structure and mouthfeel.
Since its release into the Australian market in 2010, the versatility and the
reliability of the yeast has been well established. It has been used successfully
in hot, warm and cooler regions of Australia. Outstanding reports have been
received when using Lalvin CLOS™ to ferment Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz,
Grenache and Tempranillo . The sensory characteristics include underlying
complexity with an overall heightened expression of varietal characters with a
good balance between mouthfeel and structure. Lalvin CLOS™ is a relatively
high producer of glycerol, which contributes to the mouthfeel effect of this
yeast. Most importantly, its reliability has been commonly reported.
The Lalvin CLOS™ yeast, was selected from nature, and has since been
improved using the propriety process called YSEO®.
Lallemand has developed a unique yeast production process called YSEO® (Yeast SEcurity and Sensory
Optimization). This process increases fermentation reliability and security and ensures fewer organoleptic
deviations, but not all yeast can be prepared by this process. The process (when compared to non YSEO®):
• Improves the yeast cells assimilation of essential micronutrients and vitamins.
• Improves the yeasts ability to implant in the must for a more reliable fermentation.
• Linked to a reduction in yeast stress thereby reducing H2S, VA and SO2 production.
• Shorter lag phase.
• Improves the resistance and adaption of the yeast under difficult fermentation conditions.

Further Notes
• Steps 1-5 should be completed within 30 minutes.
• It is best to limit first juice/must volume addition to one tenth the yeast suspension volume and wait 10 minutes
before the addition to juice.
• To minimize cold shock, ensure temperature changes are less than 10°C.
• It is recommended that juice / must be inoculated no lower than 18°C.
• It is recommended to use complex nutrition nitrogen source, such as either Fermaid AT™ or Fermaid O™.
