BRL97 is the ultimate choice for winemakers dedicated to capturing the rich heritage and robust character of traditional Italian wines
BRL97 brings unparalleled depth, aromatic complexity, and aging potential to your winemaking process
Unleash the bold, structured elegance of classic Italian reds
BRL97 is a premium Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, meticulously selected for its ability to enhance the complex structure, robust tannins, and deep aromatic qualities characteristic of classic Italian red wines. Isolated from a Nebbiolo fermentation in the Barolo region, this yeast is ideal for varietals such as Nebbiolo, Barolo, Barbaresco, and other full-bodied reds. BRL97 drives a steady fermentation while preserving delicate aromatics, achieving a harmonious balance between fruit expression and tannic depth.
High Alcohol Tolerance: Efficiently ferments up to 16% ABV, supporting the production of strong, well-structured wines.
Enhanced Tannin Extraction: Promotes polyphenol extraction, amplifying mouthfeel and depth while preserving tannic structure.
Aromatic Preservation: Optimized to retain primary fruit aromas while enhancing spice, leather, and earthy notes typical of Italian reds.
Temperature Range: Ferments cleanly between 62°F (17°C) and 85°F (29°C), providing flexibility across different fermentation strategies.
Low Volatile Acidity Production: Ensures clean, refined wines with minimal acetic off-flavors.
Medium Flocculation: Settles well for efficient clarification without excessive lees compaction.
Applications
Italian Reds: Specifically suited for Nebbiolo-based wines like Barolo and Barbaresco, as well as Barbera and Sangiovese, where tannic structure and aromatic complexity are paramount.
Bordeaux Blends: Enhances the intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, delivering deep, structured wines with elegant aging potential.
Aged Reds: Perfect for wines destined for barrel aging, as it develops intricate layers of spice, leather, and toasted oak during maturation.
Fortified Reds: Performs excellently in high-alcohol environments, suitable for Amarone and Port-style wines.
Flavor Profile
Dark Fruits: Rich expressions of blackberry, plum, and black cherry with deep, concentrated flavors.
Spice & Earthiness: Subtle notes of tobacco, leather, black pepper, and dried herbs provide complexity and depth.
Elegant Tannins: Supports structured tannins that balance bold fruit with a smooth, age-worthy mouthfeel.
Aging Potential: Enhances longevity, allowing wines to mature gracefully over time, developing complexity and integrated tannin profiles.
Usage
Rehydration: Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of chlorine-free water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes. Stir gently to avoid clumping.
Pitch Rate: Use 1–1.5 grams per gallon (0.25–0.4 grams per liter) for optimal fermentation and flavor development.
Nutrient Addition: Supplement with yeast nutrient for fuller attenuation and minimized off-flavors, particularly in high-Brix musts.
Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 62°F and 85°F (17°C and 29°C) for optimal tannin extraction and aromatic retention.
Extended Maceration: Ideal for longer maceration periods to extract deeper color and tannin structure in full-bodied reds.
Of the six noble grapes, Riesling is the lone variety to be of German origin rather than French. Originally from the Rheingau region of Germany, where it is still the most widely cultivated grape today, Riesling is known for its outstanding aromatics and is commonly regarded by wine experts as the finest white grape variety in the world. Mercurial in nature, Riesling is highly “terroir-expressive” and begs to be planted in cooler climates; but even small climatic variances in a characteristically cool growing region can lead to markedly different results in the finished wine. Often noted for having a high acidity and palpable mineral character, Riesling is adored for its floral aroma and mouthwatering orchard flavors of apricot and peach, as well as many other ripe fruit notes that vary depending on the region.
To this day, Germany continues to boast the highest production of Riesling in the world, despite the fact that the vines have made their way to countries with far more tremendous growing capacity in terms of sheer acreage. By example, California’s vast collection of vineyards dedicate less than 4,000 acres to Riesling, with nearly half of the total being grown in Monterey. Californian Riesling tends to be softer, with less mineral quality and somewhat more subdued fruit flavors.
Our California Riesling sports a light-medium body and leaps out of the glass with notes of apricot and mango, followed by a delightful acidity. This dry white wine has no oak character and an easy-drinking alcohol level of 12.5%.
The VineCo Estate Riesling is one of those wines that seems to effortlessly improve the vibe wherever and whenever it is enjoyed. A bright and cheerful wine that is outgoing to a fault. Regardless of your current mood, once the aromas start popping out of the glass and the acidity starts tickling your tongue, it’ll be hard to hold back a smile. Try it alongside prawns and fresh crab or cuts of pork belly with choucroute.

Although it is listed as one of the original six red grapes of Bordeaux, Carménère is all but impossible to find in France today. After a phylloxera plague in the mid-19th century, the vines were nearly all destroyed in Europe and presumed extinct. But the grape lived on, unbeknownst to anyone, in the grape growing regions of Chile where some speculate it was mistaken for Merlot and thus unwittingly preserved over the last 150 years. Indeed the two grapes share a common ancestor and are strikingly similar in appearance. Commonly used as a blending grape, but as a varietal wine Carménère is known for its deep red color, gentle tannins, and fruit-forward character with earthy notes. Growing Carménère is all but unheard of in Bordeaux today, but the grape has thrived in the vineyards of Chile where it has become the country’s leading red grape. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, dry red with aromas and flavors of red fruit and berries, plum, and floral notes. Our Chile Carménère follows the classic description, characterized by flavors of raspberry, red cherry, and plum. Medium-bodied and dry with a moderate oak presence. This red wine weighs in at the higher end of the spectrum with an alcohol level of 13.5% by volume. This Carmenere wine kit includes medium toast French oak chips. Medium toast French oak is subtle and provides refined flavors of custard, chocolate, and spice. French oak in general is often used by winemakers when they want to increase the mouthfeel and complexity of a wine without stepping on or suppressing the fruit. The VineCo Estate Carménère is the perfect wine for those that enjoy the spice of life. Or maybe more specifically, those that enjoy spice in their meals. Carménère pairs wonderfully with dishes that have a kick. Lamb curry, spicy pork sausage, Chile con Carne—these mouth watering foods are great options to enjoy with a glass of this delicious red wine. Carménère shouldn’t only be poured alongside hot dishes, but if you’re looking for something to pair with a meal that raises your heart rate, you’ve found it here.

Enhances fruit and chocolate-like aromas in red wines
Helps stabilize color
Our selected blend of SIY's, Ellagic Tannins, and a touch of Gum Arabic
Added at the end of fermentation or the beginning of aging
Red Wonder was developed to add fruit and chocolate flavor to red wine. It brings the body and richness of sur lie aging with the amazing impact of ellagic finishing tannins. The ellagic tannins in this blend were selected for their ability to impart chocolate flavors into the wine.
Red Wonder is a blend of specially inactivated yeast (SIY), elected ellagic tannins, and a little bit of LiquiBody Gum Arabic. In addition to body and flavor this product helps reduce the need for SO2 and also helps to lock in color.
You certainly could select an SIY, like our CellarScience Easy Sur Lie and then trial them with different ellagic tannins along with LiquiBody. But we've worked in small wineries and we know you are busy, so we've done that trialing for you and selected the blend that most often turned out really exceptional red wines.
Directions:
Use at the rate of 0.4 to 1.5 g per gallon of wine. Rehydrate in warm water or wine for 30 minutes and then stir directly into the tank or barrel. Once fully mixed it doesn't need any further stirring. We recommend starting with dosage of 1 g per gal (0.25 g per liter) and adjusting on further batches as needed.
A notable strain for its ability to enhance Sauvignon Blanc varietal characteristics while maintaining good fermentation kinetics. Wines fermented with SVG are described as having more intensity and a balance of mineral, citrus and spicy notes. Alcohol tolerant to 15%, this strain has moderate nutrient requirements and a fermentation temperature range of 61-79°F. This is a great choice for enhancing natural varietal characteristics in Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and other dry whites.

Expertly crafted stainless steel fruit press made by the original manufacturer of the bladder press Features a slotted screen which mirrors commercial press designs Higher juice yield (65-70%) compared to other press models Can be used with any domestic water supply that provides at least 36 psi of pressure Easy to clean after use—simply spray down with a hose and towel dry Made in Germany by Speidel Speidel was the original manufacturer of the bladder press. While similar to the Italian models in operation, Speidel offers a few quality upgrades. To obtain a better press Speidel uses a slotted screen, similar to what is offered on large commercial presses, instead of a screen with circular perforations. Speidel presses also offer superior hardware and a recessed valve assembly (to reduce accidental breakage). Insert bag and outer splash guard included. Compared to other presses, the Speidel hydro press has a higher juice yield (~65-70%) and works completely without electricity and with minimal effort. This press can be used with any domestic water supply the provides at least 2.5 bar (36 psi) of pressure. Pressing pressure and pressing time is simply regulated by the water flow. These units are extremely easy to care for and can be cleaned quickly by simply spraying it down with a hose after use. You will find the quality you'd expect from a product that is 100% German-made. Speidel has been shifting their bladder presses from painted to all stainless, and we're pretty excited about it. Although the orange painted versions have their own aesthetic appeal, nothing beats the performance and practicality of stainless steel. Stainless is much easier to clean and much more resistant to rust. The painted versions are likely to chip over time through normal wear and tear, creating small crevasses for bacteria to call home. No such worries when working this beautiful, brushed stainless press. Overall height is 35" and basket height is 18.5". A press cycle averages around 40 minutes. Please Note: Due to the size of the carton this wine press is packaged in, it ships as an oversized item, which is why the shipping weight below is listed as 75lb. In reality the press weighs closer to 35lb. Includes: Complete press assembly Inner mesh bag (to keep fruit from getting in the stainless basket and make cleanup easier) Plastic "spray-protection bag" to keep juice from squirting out Fittings to connect garden hose Instruction manual Presses ship in a corrugated box. Minor assembly (attaching legs) is required before use 1 Year Warranty on all parts! Download the PDF FAQ: Can the press be operated with air pressure? No. These are hydraulic presses that may only be operated with water. When operating with compressed air, there is a risk of explosion and a very high risk of injury if the membrane bursts due to excess pressure or damage. Is a minimum water pressure required? In order to ensure the function and the best possible yield, there should be a minimum water pressure of 2-2.5 bar on the press. What if the water supply delivers more than 3 bar? In principle, this is not a problem, as if the water pressure inside the press exceeds 3 bar, the pressure relief valve opens and there is no pressure-related damage. How many apples make how much juice? On average, 50kg (110 lbs) of apples produce around 30-35L (8-9 gal) of juice, depending on the variety and quality of the apples.
Merlot is extraordinary in its flexibility, able to be paired with many different grapes to create magnificent blends, but easily stands on its own in varietal wines. Sometimes mistaken for Cabernet Sauvignon in blind tastings, the two grapes are both descendents of Cabernet Franc and can display similar flavors and textures, although Merlot is known for being softer and less tannic. Aromas and flavors include blackberry, cassis, baked cherries, dark chocolate and mocha, among others. Merlot ranks as the second most-widely grown grape in the world, but reigns supreme in the Médoc district of Bordeaux. California-grown Merlot grapes produce what is known as “Warm-Climate Merlot”, which is the category that Merlot grown in Australia and Argentina also fall under. These grapes tend to be heavier on the fruit notes. Due to the lower tannin levels and softer finish, some vintners employ a longer oak-aging process to give the wine more structure. Our California Merlot is a full-bodied red characterized with flavors of chocolate, black cherry and tobacco. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine has a dry chocolate finish with a medium oak character. Includes medium toast American oak chips. Medium toast oak is the most popular toast level used in red wines as it imparts a complex balance of vanillin and spice. American oak is famous for providing classic oak aromas. The VineCo Estate Merlot is not to be sequestered to the dinner table. This is a wine you want to pack up and take with you on a picnic. Enjoy with the sun overhead, a light breeze at your back, and a charcuterie board within arm’s reach. At supper time, you may find Merlot to be the perfect compliment to grilled beef burgers or a freshly chopped Caesar salad.

The Temperature Tamer hangs from the side of a bin or tank and has a built-in temperature controller that monitors the temperature and controls a solenoid valve, allowing coolant or heated water to enter a snake, plate or jacket to maintain your ideal temperature. Theoretically you could be maintaining the temperature of a red wine ferment at 77F in one tank while you cold stabilized a white wine at 30F in the next.
The built-in Ranco controller allows for heating or cooling, has a temperature range of -30 to 220F, and will maintain the temperature in a ferment or tank within one degree of your set point. The controller opens and closes the built in electronic solenoid valve to start or stop the flow of coolant.
The included thermal sensor can be placed into a thermowell mounted onto a tank or a floating thermowell used with a Macrobin. The unit comes equipped with 1/2" barb outlets for the glycol system, however you can remove those and attach anything you'd like to the 1/2" FPT behind them. We generally like to use Quick Disconnects in these systems, please contact us if you need assistance setting this up properly.
An example set-up for cooling macro bins: Using one of our glycol systems run an outgoing and incoming loop of 1/2" line that is always recirculating cold glycol. Wherever you have a bin that needs cooling, tee your Temperature Tamer input into the line coming from your chiller, connect a hose from the Tamer's outlet to the inlet side of your cooling plate, and tee a hose from the cooling plate's outlet into the return line going back to the chiller.

Oak Segments larger surface area compared to chips or cubes offer a gradual, more controlled release of flavors
Medium toast imparts flavors of fresh oak, coconut, vanilla, sweet butterscotch, light caramel, and faint almond
Ideal for long-term aging
Oak segments are carefully crafted, larger pieces of oak designed for a gradual and controlled flavor infusion into various beverages. Their increased surface area, compared to smaller oak forms, allows for a slower release of oak characteristics. This leads to a more subtle and balanced aging process, enabling the development of a rich, complex flavor profile over time.
