The RC-212 strain comes from the Burgundy region of France, and is a moderately quick, low foaming yeast. It achieves full flavor extraction in red wines. This yeast strain stabilizes color and tannin throughout fermentation and aging. An emphasis on ripe berry, peppery/spicy and fruit aromas is noted. This is the best strain to use in Pinot Noir or other full bodied red wines.

Good results with fruit meads Review by Andrew

(Posted on 2/21/13)

Product Rating:

I have made several fruit meads with this yeast with excellent results. I especially liked the flavor profile with my blackberry meads. No starter, no problem - just sprinkle on top of the must, just like in the wine kits. I do add some yeast nutrient to the must as I do with all of my meads. Can't beat the price, either!
