Which Yeast For Fruit Ports

[Wiz]

I want to make a fruit port from either blackberry or strawberry. Which yeast do you recommend available from George. I have Pasteur Champagne, Montrachet and Curvee.

I would do the Premier Cuvee as its got the highest abv tolerance there which you will want with a port, it goes to 18%. The Champagne is only good to about 13-15%, the Montrachet is only 13%.

I have had real good luck with Lavlin 1118 it goes 18% with no problem

From these yeasts I have use Montrachet yeast and no doubt it is very good. I have heard about these yeasts but I havent use it as my experience with the Montrachet yeast is more better.
