Here is what he said:
Thanks for your inquiry. That strain is actually no longer available.
I am inquiring with our technical staff to see what might be the best
yeast for your application. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Our tech guy thinks ICV GRE is the best choice. We don't make that in
small sachets for home winemakers, but More Winemaking buys bulk packs
of our yeast, including that variety, and repackages it for resale.
You can order the yeast from them at
