Wines In India

Sadashiv Nate, CEO, Vinsura said, “We will for the first time launch reserve wines in India. There will be three products -- Rose Sparkling, Red and White reserve wines. This is the most premium quality wine that is made after barrelisation for over two-years.” He said that the brand name under which the reserve wines would be marketed “will be announced during a formal launch in January.” The reserve wine products would be priced at Rs 1,000 and above, he added.

Elaborating on the uniqueness and importance of reserve wine, Nate said it was a specific wine of higher quality. The wine is made from the best quality Shiraaz or Zenfendel grapes and is stored in large wooden barrels for years before bottling it. The wooden barrels give the wine its unique taste.

The Nashik-based winery was rechristened as Vinsura after the name of the village Vinchur a few months ago.

This well reputed boutique winemaking house is today known for making award-winning wines, each quite unique and brilliantly tailored for the connoisseur's palate.

Paulo Bianchi, an engaging presenter, proudly described the biodynamic vineyard management techniques used at Querciabella which have led to producing high quality wines with beautiful expressions of the carefully tended fruit.
