So... Grabbed the wrong yeast packet. Anyone ever used Lalvin D47 in a red wine?

Just put a Winexpert Sangiovese kit together, and managed to grab a packet of D47 yeast from my stash when I was putting it together.

Didn't realize I grabbed d47 until I was done rehydrating and already pitched.

Has anyone ever used d47 in a red? How did it turn out?

My fav yeast! Low nutrient reqs...leaves great flavor...alcohol tolerance 13-14%...cold crashes well & leaves caramel syrup like lees [emoji111]

*Whew* that's good news. Thanks, folks.

I know it's primarily for whites, but I guess it's time for an ex-wine-iment? To be honest the description sounds as if it'll work well with a red to me.

I Use it for reds & ciders all the time.....

Great choice [emoji111]
