2023 Zinfandel, Sula Vineyards
Maharashtra, India
The Nashik Ruby Flame
This is Indian Zinfandel with juicy fruit, soft spice and a warm, easy glow. From Maharashtra’s Nashik region, it opens with red berries, blackberry, plum and cherry, followed by cinnamon, smoky spice and a gentle touch of oak. It is fruit-driven, youthful and appealing, with plenty of colour and charm in the glass.
The palate is medium-bodied, supple and smooth, with ripe berry fruit, plum, spice and soft tannins carrying into a lingering finish. It has the generosity you want from Zinfandel, but stays balanced and fresh enough to pour happily with food. Think red fruit, warm spice and relaxed Nashik sunshine.
For when you want a red with brightness, spice and easy Indian charm.
Pairs with barbecue chicken, lamb kebabs, pepperoni pizza, smoky aubergine, mushroom ragù, grilled sausages, spicy tomato pasta, or a mild curry.
If this wine were… a flame, it would be ruby-red and glowing over the Nashik Hills, warm with plum, spice and evening light.
Sula Vineyards is one of the defining names of modern Indian wine, based in Nashik, Maharashtra.

Today, Sula grows varieties including Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Shiraz and Zinfandel, combining sustainable vineyard work with a clear sense of Indian wine identity.
