Enhance Varietal Expression in Full-Bodied Red and White Wines

Mangrove Jack’s BV7 Wine Yeast is a versatile strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae designed to enhance the natural flavors and aromas of both red and white grape varieties. This moderate fermenting yeast promotes good body and structure while preserving the grape's inherent characteristics, making it ideal for crafting full-bodied, full-flavored dry and sweet wines.

BV7 is particularly suited for varietals such as Chardonnay, Semillon, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. It produces a range of beneficial congeners, including higher alcohols and esters, and high glycerol levels, contributing to the wine's mouthfeel, texture, and palate intensity. The yeast's clean fermentation profile ensures that the wine's varietal character remains at the forefront.
