Description

A great dry yeast for making red wine, highly recommended for production of quality red wines!. Able to ferment between 64 and 86 degrees F and up to 16% alcohol. This is one of the yeasts that MoreWine uses in the production of the majority of our red wines. In our experience, BDX has continuously excelled not just with the Bordeaux varietals, but with Zinfandel and the Rhone varietals as well.

Want more of a soft Bordeaux blend, use BDX and even better, blend wine made with BDX and maybe the same blend fermented with BM4x4.

Working well...
First time using this yeast. Rehydrated with Goferm and it took off almost immediately. I like what it’s doing with the Malbec that is fermenting. BM4X4 is my go-to but I think I will transition to something more true to form for Bordeaux varietals.

Syrah
Used this yeast for the first time. Ferment small batches in 80 gal SS fermenters. The fermentation is slower but max temp is 70 degrees. In the past would battle temps as high as 86 degrees in these small fermenters. Am very happy.

Used on Cellar Craft Mountain Red Cab
Really enjoyed the change this yeast made in my wine. Wine is only 18 months, yet can tell a distinct favor change. Have made this kit 6 times. This is my go to wine kit. As my skills improve so does the wine. This leaped the taste of the kit in my humble opinion.
Also used in a Cellar Craft Amarone, first attempt at this wine. Unable to give change review, however another excellent wine.
