Making Scuppernong wine - Which yeast?

[jobe05]

I presently have 2 - 6 gallon batches of Scuppernong wine started. one batch I started Friday, pitched the D47 Saturday morning. The second batch I just crushed the grapes yesterday, and am getting ready to pitch the yeast today, However..... After checking the must from Batch one, Im not to pleased with the D47's performance. Might need more yeast nutrient, might need more yeast, I'll look at that later.

What would you use for yeast?

Im looking for a sweet wine, generally 1.010+, which I generally back sweeten, and an ABV of around 11% to 12% +-1% is OK.
