Red wine lovers take note. Grenache has traditionally played a supporting role in India, appearing mostly in blends and rosés. Sula’s decision to bottle it as a standalone red under its premium ‘The Source’ label suggests growing confidence in the grape’s potential. As a single varietal wine, this latest addition to The Source range is an indication of the direction premium Indian wine is heading. As Indian wine producers continue to experiment with Mediterranean varieties that are well adapted to warm climates, Grenache is emerging as a grape worth watching.

Known for producing wines with generous fruit, moderate tannins and an approachable character, Grenache is particularly suited to consumers seeking lighter, more versatile reds.The emphasis is on freshness and drinkability rather than power. The wine offers bright, red-fruit flavours, supple texture and moderate alcohol, making it a style that can be enjoyed across a range of occasions and Indian dishes. Served slightly cool for maximum freshness and appeal, pair it with tandoori chicken, grilled lamb, kebabs, mushroom dishes or mildly spiced curries.
