Joenos Bordeaux Dry Yeast, 5 g for 10-50 l Structured Red Wines

The Bordeaux is a pure-culture dry wine yeast for red wines with structure and ageing potential. It is suitable for grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, for Bordeaux-style cuvées and also for full-bodied dark fruit wines, for example from blackberries or cherries.

Fermentation proceeds quickly with a short lag phase; the yeast draws plenty of colour from the mash and delivers a balanced tannin structure. Typical aromas tend towards blackcurrant, blackberry and spicy notes. The fermentation temperature is 20 to 30 °C and the alcohol tolerance up to 16 % vol. To rehydrate, let the yeast swell in 10 times its amount of water at 35 to 40 °C for about 20 minutes, then slowly bring the temperature in line with the must, with a maximum difference of 10 °C.
