10th January 2024, Bangalore, India – Grover Zampa Vineyards, a home grown brand in India’s wine business, is excited to announce the launch of Grover Essence De Cabernet Sauvignon, their long-awaited limited-edition wine. Wine lovers will cherish this remarkable wine, made with the truest expression of Indian terroir which captures the luxuriant surroundings of Nandi Hills, where the grapes
thrive under ideal environment.
Grover Essence De Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a testament to the artistry of Grover Zampa Vineyards, embodying the true essence of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape varietal. This unfiltered, single-vineyard wine is a result of meticulous craftsmanship, using only hand-picked grapes, fermented and matured in oak barrels for over 36 months, and hand-bottled to preserve the wine’s original flavour and its nature.
The wine unveils a bold aroma of cocoa, luscious dark fruits, and fragrant violet flowers upon opening. Layers of black plum, dark cherries, and vanilla emerge on the palate of Grover Essence De Cabernet Sauvignon, which is encased in rich cocoa and savory earthiness. The wine’s velvety texture, coupled with polished tannins, reveal a harmonious balance that is bold yet supple, leading to an elegant long finish.
The wine “Grover Essence De Cabernet Sauvignon” provides a unique experience. It goes well with a variety of foods, such as pork belly, lamb shanks, tandoori tikkas, pepper-crusted meats, and delicious dark chocolate gateau with cherry compote. It also pairs well with a variety of cheeses, such as camembert, gouda, and cheddar.
