Description

A French isolate used extensively in California and Australia and maintained at UC Davis as strain UCD-725. Highly recommended for production of quality red wines. Able to ferment between 64 and 86 degrees F and up to 16% alcohol. Low volatile acid production. Medium-rate fermenter with low hydrogen sulfide production. Does not really add to the mouthfeel of a wine, rather it focuses on the structural components. Minimum color loss in red wines with enhanced flavor and aroma of the wine. This is one of the yeasts that MoreWine uses in the production of the majority of our red wines. In past vintages, BDX has continuously been shown to excel not just with the Bordeaux varietals, but with Zinfandel and the Rhone one's, as well.

All around great red wine yeast
Great solid fermenter that finishes clean and quick and provides a medium bodied red across many varietals. Have used it as the go-to yeast for years.

Great Performer
I've used this on Merlot, Zinfandel, and Black Spanish grapes all with great results. Steady fermenter with no sulfur production when used in conjunction with Go Ferm and Fermaid K. You can't go wrong choosing this yeast.
