Mangrove Jack’s CR51 wine yeast 8 g

The Mangrove Jack’s CR51 yeast is a neutral‑profile oenological strain designed to produce light, dry red wines intended for early drinking. Its steady top‑fermentation consistently leads to full dryness, resulting in lively, clean wines with a precise structure.

This yeast contributes very little aromatic character: aromas come exclusively from the grapes or fruits used. It produces little glycerol, which results in a light to medium body and a taut mouthfeel. It is perfectly suited for Pinot Noir, Gamay and fruit wines. With a tolerance of up to 14% ABV, it delivers dry, precise and elegant wines.

Why choose this product?

• Neutral aromatic profile: fully respects the grape and fruit character.
• Ferments to full dryness: dry, lively and structured wines.
