Gervin GV5 - White Fruit Wine Yeast (Apricot, Peach, Strawberry)

Gervin GV5 White Fruit Wine Yeast

Gervin GV5 is a cool-tolerant wine yeast for delicate white and fruit wines where fresh aroma is important.

It is particularly useful for lighter fruit wines such as apricot, peach and strawberry, and can ferment at lower temperatures than many general-purpose wine strains.

Yeast Details

• Pack Size: 5g
• Batch Size: Up to 23 litres
• Fermentation Temperature: 8–25°C
• Alcohol Tolerance: Up to 15% ABV
• Character: Delicate and fruit-led

How to Use

Sprinkle directly onto the prepared must and keep the fermentation within the stated range. Cooler fermentation can help preserve delicate aroma, although it will generally progress more slowly.

Substitute Yeasts

Mangrove Jack's CY17 is a fruity, floral alternative for white and country wines. Lalvin D47 is a good choice when more body and roundness are wanted.

Winemaker's Tip

GV5 is most useful when preserving delicate fruit character matters. Keep the temperature steady rather than simply fermenting as cold as possible.
