Description
DR-116 is a strain specifically used for red fruit fermentations. DR-116's tolerance of high sugar musts and high alcohol concentrations makes it very suitable for the production of full-bodied red wines destined for wood maturation. DR-116 promotes blackberry and blackcurrant aromas in Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, and red berry aromas in Merlot.
It has proven to be a favorite amongst craft distillers in the production of rum.
Recommended for
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rum, or any red berry fruits. Can also be used for molasses fermentations.
