Gervin GV1 - Universal Wine Yeast (Bananas, Flowers, Rosehips)

Gervin GV1 Universal Wine Yeast

Gervin GV1 is a general-purpose wine yeast for a wide range of grape and country wines.

Winemaker's Tip

GV1 is a useful all-rounder, but specialist strains can give better results when the wine has a clear target such as aromatic white, structured red or high-malic fruit wine.
