Fermentation guidance

• Pack size: 8g
• Suitable for approximately 19–25L

Add directly to the grape or fruit must and stir well. Use appropriate wine nutrients where the recipe requires them, particularly with difficult or nutrient-poor musts.

Compare another red-wine yeast

For lighter, fresher and more fruit-forward red wines, compare Vintner’s Harvest CR51. Both 8g sachets suit approximately 19–25L, but R56 favours fuller-bodied reds and a warmer 18–28°C range, while CR51 is listed at 16–24°C.
