Cabernet Franc: BM45, RP15, D254, D80, BDX

Carmenere: BDX, D254, RP15

Malbec: BDX, D254, RP15

Merlot: BDX, D80, RP15, D254

Petite Verdot: BM4X4, D80, D254

Pinot Noir: RC212, BM45

Syrah: BDX, D80, D254

Pinot Grigio: 71B, VIN13, QA23, R2

Sauvignon Blanc: VIN13, QA23, R2, D47, V1116

Which yeast would you choose? 🙂

Also, don’t forget to watch Musto Wine Grape’s Youtube Video on “Yeast & Stuck Fermentation” – it is very helpful and goes over a lot of important points about yeast and wine fermentation.

Cheers! And Happy Winemaking!
