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.

Winemaker's Tip
VR21 works best where the wine has enough tannin, fruit and body to support a more structured fermentation profile.
