Product Notes

J'Noon's Akluj Red wine is a delightful Indian vinous revelation with a concentrated flavour pallet. Exhibiting top notes of dark fruit and chocolate, it eases into a complex blend of spice, blackcurrant and a hint of thyme. This robust offering is a concoction of Cabernet Sauvignon, Marselan, and Petit Verdot– a Bordeaux-style blend that conjures a bold yet finely balanced bouquet. A beautifully structured wine with soft tannins and a long finish, it promises an extraordinary drinking experience. Matured in French oak barrels, the J'Noon Akluj Red wine is a captivating illustration of India's burgeoning winemaking prowess.

Tasting Notes

Deep purple in colour. The Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes give the wine its deep purple colour and flavours of blackcurrant and blackberry, while the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes backbone as well as a freshness to the blend. This wine has structured tannins, a full body and notes of spearmint and graphite, supported by a backdrop of cedar and fresh tobacco. The finish is long and silky.
