cherry wine yeast

[Grod]

i am looking to make a cherry wine as sour as possible while still being drinkable.
i was going to use 
Montrachet Yeast and add sour acid blends untill liking but i started to think what about or Sherry Yeast/ cider yeast. anyone with experience using either of those with cherries?

We make quite abit of cherry, and we like the Montrachet

IF you use the Montrechet, make sure you keep the nutrients up. I would add half the nutrient at the beginning and the other half when it gets down to 1.050 to 1.060 or so. Arne.

Thank you for the tip i read 1 teaspoon yeast nutrient a gallon.Does that number sound acceptable?

Use what the container it comes in recomends. Arne.

Be sure to split the dose of nutrient--half when the yeast takes off, second half at 1/3 sugar reduction.

My yeast container recommends 1 - 1.5 tsp per gallon. With Montrachet, I would stick to the 1.5. As mentioned, step it in. 1 tsp in the beginning, 1/2 tsp. around around 1.050, assuming your starting SG is around 1.090.

i like giving some of my wines a tart/sour finish by using small amounts of crab apples, around 1 lb of crab apple per 10 to 15 pound of fruit
