Vinter Choice malo-lactic cultures are suitable of pH 2.9 or greater and cellar temperatures as low as 55° F.

Classic Burgundy Yeast for Bold Red Wines

Lalvin RC-212 (often called “Bourgovin”) is a go-to strain for full-bodied red wines where deep color, firm structure, and vivid red-fruit character are the goal. It performs best in warm red fermentations and is a favorite for Pinot Noir and other reds that benefit from enhanced tannin and color stability.

RC-212 Fermentation Notes

  • Alcohol Tolerance: up to ~14%
  • Temperature Range: 68–86°F (20–30°C); thrives in warmer red ferments
  • Fermentation Speed: moderate, steady
  • Nutrient Needs: moderate; use balanced nutrition for clean results

RC-212 Flavor & Aroma

  • Emphasizes red fruit (cherry, raspberry) with subtle spice
  • Builds color intensity and tannin structure
  • Fuller mouthfeel with a long, firm finish

RC-212 Best Uses

  • Pinot Noir / red Burgundy styles
  • Other structured red wines where color and tannin are desired
  • Ferments targeting age-worthy profiles

RC-212 Winemaker Tips

  • Run on the warm side (70–86°F) to maximize color and tannin extraction.
  • Use active cap management (punch-downs/pump-overs) for structure and hue.
  • Feed with a balanced nutrient schedule to maintain a clean, steady ferment.
