Sula Vineyards Shiraz 75cl
AED 35.00
Big, dark-fruit Shiraz from India that brings blackberry, plum, and a hit of peppery spice—aka the red wine you pour when you want instant “one more glass” energy. It’s bold without being a tannin workout, and the savoury edge makes it a killer match for butter chicken and grilled kebabs. If you’re bored of the usual Aussie Shiraz, this is your fun left turn!

Dark fruit, black pepper, and that cosy “something’s on the grill” vibe—this Indian Shiraz is the kind of red wine that makes weeknight dinners feel like a plan.
- Appearance: Deep ruby to purple, with a rich-looking tint in the glass.
- Nose: Ripe blackberry and plum up front, with a peppery kick and a little earthy, smoky edge.
- Taste: Juicy dark fruit leads, then spice and savoury notes roll in; medium tannins keep it grippy without drying you out.
- Body: Medium to full-bodied—plenty of presence, not a heavyweight brawler.
- Finish: Lingering dark berries and warm spice, with a gentle dry fade that begs for a bite of food.
Why it deserves shelf space: it’s a crowd-pleasing Shiraz that still feels like a discovery. You get the classic Shiraz comfort (dark fruit + spice) but with a slightly different accent—less jammy, more savoury—so it plays ridiculously well with Indian food, BBQ, and anything with a bit of char. It’s also easy to like if you’re just getting into red wine, but interesting enough to keep regular Shiraz drinkers awake.
If you’re building a home-bar-and-dinner rotation, this one’s a smart move. It works when you want a red wine that can stand up to big flavours—think peppery kebabs, lamb, paneer tikka, or tomato-heavy pasta—without bulldozing everything on your plate.
One more thing we love: Sula is one of the producers that helped put modern Indian wine on the map—started in Nashik (often called India’s wine capital) after its founder came back from California and decided India needed serious wine of its own.
