This yeast is on backorder, we expect this to be available by the end of July.

Ideally suited for rich, full bodied red wines with exceptional flavor complexity. Noted for exceptional depth and flavor complexity, R56 exhibits complex aromatics during fermentation conferring an old world quality which one might only expect from natural flora multiple strain fermentations.

Unusual for complex aromatic strains, R56 still respects the varietal character of the fruit and confers good structure and balance. R56 is also a high glycerol producing strain. R56 is a medium rate fermenter with optimal temperature between 22 to 30C (72 -86F) which will ferment to 13.5% alcohol by volume.
