Mangrove Jacks CY17 Wine Yeast

Mangrove Jacks CY17 Wine Yeast

A white wine strain for making both dry and sweet wines, and also rosé wines. This moderate fermenting yeast is also perfectly suited to making country style wines from fruits and flowers, as these flavours and aromas are naturally enhanced. This strain promotes body, and confers rich and full, fruit and floral aromatics.
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 Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Muscat, Muscadet, Gewurztraminer, and more.

Aroma Characteristics:
This strain contributes significantly to wine aroma, developing complex tropical fruit and floral aromatic qualities.

Flavour/Mouthfeel Characteristics:
Wines made using this strain are full and well-rounded, exhibiting the same complexity of fruit and floral notes as present in the aroma.

Higher Alcohol Wines:
Not suitable for wines above 14% ABV.

Nitrogen Requirement: Low
Recommended temperature range: 16 – 24°C (61 – 75°F)
Optimum pH Range: 3.0-6.0
Alcohol Tolerance: 14% 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
