AWRI 796 500g

Isolated from South Africa, this strain is used extensively for its ability to allow the full expression of varietal fruit and good palate structure. Popular for varietal red wines such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Merlot and varietal white wines such as Chardonnay, Semillon and Riesling. This strain is also characterized by high glycerol and low ethanol yields per gram of sugar utilised.
