Sula Dindori Reserve Shiraz 75cl

Ripe fruit, real spice, and that “one more sip” pull—this Indian Shiraz doesn’t mess around. Sula’s Dindori Reserve comes out of Nashik, a region that’s basically the heart of modern Indian wine, and it leans into what Shiraz does best: dark berries, pepper, and a deeper, toasty edge that makes food taste better.

If you’ve ever had a red that felt thin, sour, or like it was trying too hard, this is the fix. You get bold flavour without needing a dictionary. It’s the kind of red wine you open when you want something confident on the table—pizza night, grilled anything, or when you’re just not in the mood for a “polite” glass.

What makes it worth your attention is the Dindori angle. This isn’t random fruit from anywhere—it’s tied to a specific pocket of Nashik, which helps give the wine that punchy fruit core and the savoury spice that keeps it from tasting like grape juice. It’s Shiraz with structure: fruit up front, grip through the middle, and a finish that hangs around long enough to make the next bite better.

• Appearance: Deep ruby to purple, with a darker core that hints at a richer style.
• Nose: Blackberry, plum, cracked black pepper, and a hint of cocoa/coffee-like toast.
• Taste: Dark fruit leads, backed by savoury spice; medium acidity keeps it lively, and the tannins give it a firm, food-friendly grip.
• Body: Medium-full, with enough weight to feel satisfying.
• Finish: Peppery berry and a faint smoky-chocolate note that lingers.

This is a great pick when you want a red wine that can handle bold flavours. Think burgers, kebabs, pepperoni pizza, tomato-based pasta, or anything with char and spice. It’s also a smart “bring-to-dinner” bottle because it’s crowd-friendly without being boring—fruit-forward for newer wine drinkers, spicy and structured enough for the people who like their reds with some bite.

And if you’re building a little “world wine” shelf at home, it’s a fun flex: Indian red wine is still flying under the radar, and this one makes a strong case that it shouldn’t be.

Fun fact: Sula helped put Nashik on the wine map—it’s now nicknamed the “wine capital of India,” and Dindori is one of the key vineyard areas they spotlight.
