Upgrading your yeast
For a bold, full-bodied red like this, try Mangrove Jack's R56 — built for rich, full-bodied reds with real aromatic complexity, a good match for Shiraz's spice and depth. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (an unheated garage or utility room, often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is the more reliable choice, though you'll trade away some of that complexity.
