Description

Lalvin QA23, selected on soil types from the area of the appellation of Vinhos Verdes in Portuga offers qualities of fermentative security bound to a weak demand in assimilable nitrogen and O2.

Lalvin QA23 is an excellent choice for wine styles like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonel and Gewurztraminer.
It has low nutrient and oxygen requirements and it has been known to ferment juice at low temperatures (15C/59F) to dryness. QA23 is an excellent thiol converter making it a complementary yeast for developing varietal Sauvignon Blanc passion fruit character. It also produces large amounts of the enzyme beta-glucosidase during growth which allows for the release of bound terpenes in aromatic varieties.

Always a good choice
I've used this for meads before but used it this time for a Sauvignon Blanc and was happy with the results. The wine is still clearing but the taste test was good. Strong fermenter, a definite go to.

wouldn't start ferment
I had 2 tanks of Albarino and decided to use QA23 in one and BV7 in the other. Both treated identically, otherwise... 64 degrees, nutrients, etc. The BV7 started fermentation the next day... I waited 3 days for QA23 and gave up... added BV7, and it started the next day.

Fruit/Floral Bomb for Chardonnay
Unbelievable! I made the Cellar Craft Lodi California Chardonnay kit. The strong aromas coming off the primary were amazing - pear and kiwi - they filled to house! The sample at bottling time is aromatic and floral with dominant pear and kiwi, and hints of rose and carnation - in a good way. I'll update this review after bottle aging, but if these flavors and aromas hold, this is going to be an amazing Chardonnay thanks to high quality grapes and QA23 yeast!
