Mangrove Jacks R56 Wine Yeast

Mangrove Jacks R56 Wine Yeast

A strain suitable for red wines which enhances body and mouthfeel, develops complex fruit flavours/aromas, and promotes structure and longevity. This moderate fermenting yeast is ideal for both new and old world styles, producing complex and interesting fruit-driven red wines.
Note: This yeast is blended with vitamins and minerals to ensure optimum fermentation. Note that supplementation with an appropriate organic or inorganic nitrogen-based nutrient regime is required when using this yeast.

Suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Nebbiolo, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, red fruit wines and more.

Aroma Characteristics:
A strain suitable for red wines which enhances body and mouthfeel, develops complex fruit flavours/aromas, and promotes structure and longevity. This moderate fermenting yeast is ideal for both new and old world styles, producing complex and interesting fruit-driven red wines.

Flavour/Mouthfeel Characteristics:

Higher Alcohol Wines:
Wines made with this strain are full-bodied with an abundance of dark fruit flavours. This yeast is gentle on the must, so does not strip out any flavour, colour or body, rather preserving and enhancing these aspects.

Nitrogen Requirement: Low
Recommended temperature range: 18 – 28°C (64 – 82°F)
Optimum pH Range: 3.0-6.0
Alcohol Tolerance: 15% ABV

Usage Directions:
Do not rehydrate yeast before addition, but add directly to the must/juice noting the following;
• To avoid extended lag time and risk of bacterial contamination ensure must/juice temperature is above 20°C (68°F) for the start of fermentation and for at least the first 24 hours.
• Control fermentation temperature within the range specified for each strain. As a general rule ferment between 20-24°C (68-75°F) unless cold fermenting is desired for flavour/aroma development.
• All yeast strains are sensitive to excessive osmotic pressure, incorrect pH and nutrient deficiency. Due care and attention to must/juice preparation is important.

Storage Recommendations: Store in the fridge
