The robust personality of Big Banyan Shiraz will leave you in awe. The aromas of the berries come alive in the warmer temperatures of India.

Pairing suggestions: Sweet and spicy barbeque sauces, mushroom risotto, cold cuts like pepperoni and chorizo, barbeque preparations with smoky, charred flavours and dum biryani.
