Mangrove Jack's VR21 Red Wine Yeast
Mangrove Jack's VR21 is a versatile red-wine yeast for fuller, more structured red wines.
It suits darker fruit and grape musts where you want depth and body rather than the softer profile of a light red strain.
Yeast Details
- Fermentation Temperature: 18–28°C
- Alcohol Tolerance: Up to 15% ABV
- Character: Structured, full red-wine profile
- Good For: Fuller red wines and dark fruit wines
How to Use
Sprinkle directly onto the prepared must and ferment within the recommended range. Use suitable yeast nutrient where required.
Substitute Yeasts
Mangrove Jack's R56 is a good alternative when body and mouthfeel are important. Gervin GV2 is another robust option for full-bodied red and berry wines.
Winemaker's Tip
VR21 works best where the wine has enough tannin, fruit and body to support a more structured fermentation profile.
