Mangrove Jack's R56 is a strong alternative for richer reds and added mouthfeel. Mangrove Jack's VR21 is another good option where structure is the priority.
Winemaker's Tip
GV8's warmer working range suits red-wine fermentation, but temperature should still be controlled rather than allowed to rise unchecked.
