Mangrove Jacks Wine Yeast VR21

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – Exceptional strain for full fruit varietal and country red wines promoting good structure; balance and colour.

The majority of yeast strains strip out fruit flavour and colour from the must; not so with VR21 which is particularly noted for preserving and retaining the natural fruit characteristiCraft Series of the grape / country fruit and enhancing palate length.

VR21 is a relatively neutral strain producing subtle levels of aroma and flavour compounds; allowing full expression of varietal / country characteristiCraft Series whilst enhancing colour; wine structure and balance.

VR21 is an ethanol tolerant killer strain; capable of fermenting to 15% abv. ethanol. Good production of glycerol; low volatile acid production; zero sulfur dioxide formation and low foaming.

VRE21 is capable of fermenting between 59 – 86°F but best results are achieved when a temperature between 68 – 75.2°F is maintained; unless cold fermenting is desired for flavour/aroma development.
