Sula Vineyards Zinfandel Red 2019
Fruit driven, seductive and youthful, with aromas of red berries, laced with cinnamon and spice. A medium bodied wine with supple tannins and ripe red cherries, red pepper and exotic spice on the lingering finish.
Situated in Nashik, India's largest grape-growing region, Sula Vineyards was set up in 1997 by Rajeev Samant & Kerry Damsky. They pioneered the French grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc which were first released in 2000 to wide acclaim as India's best white wines. Sula now cultivates Shiraz and Zinfandel amongst other international varieties and broadly recognized as India's premium wine producer.
The grapes were cold soaked and then fermented between 25-30C with regular gentle pump overs. The wine was aged for 2 months in oak before being bottled.
