Red Wine: A Toast to India’s Bold Shiraz That’s Turning Heads and Tantalising Palates
Red, red wine… rich, and ready… to romance our senses… Yes, this National Red Wine Day, 28th August, TheGlitz shows the way that there’s no better way to uncork indulgence than red wine or better still with Chandon Aurva. A showstopper in every sense, Aurva is the spirited story bottled straight from the heart of Nashik. Crafted exclusively from Indian-grown Shiraz and aged gracefully in French oak barrels for 10 months, this beauty is the ultimate proof that India can indeed raise a red to rival the world. Think cherries and plums having a dance with blueberries, spiced up with just a hint of cloves… and finishing as smoothly as a whispered secret… and you have this phenomenal red wine.
Decanted Dreams: Where Heritage Meets Terroir
The word Aurva comes from Sanskrit, meaning “of the earth,” and it couldn’t be a more fitting name for a wine that pays homage to India’s terroir. Behind its creation stand two wine aficionados… Kaushal Khairnar and Dan Buckle… who dared to bottle not just a Shiraz, but an entire philosophy that is a bridge between tradition and innovation, terroir and technique, local soil and global savoir faire.
Sip Happens, but Only the Best with Aurva
Red wine lovers know that the right bottle isn’t really just about grapes… it’s about moments. And Aurva is designed to slip seamlessly into them all. Imagine a grilled steak sizzling on the plate, or a rich butter chicken teasing the senses, or even a platter of smoky roasted mushrooms ready to be devoured. This Shiraz doesn’t shy away; it embraces each flavour with flair. For the global palate, Aurva mingles effortlessly with wood-fired pizzas, creamy pastas, or a decadent charcuterie spread. Whether it’s a quiet dinner for two or a celebratory soirée, Aurva ensures you’ll always pour with panache.
Crush Worthy: A Celebration of India’s Vineyards
In every glass of Aurva lies a tribute to the farmers and vineyards that nurture India’s grape-growing legacy. With sustainable practices and meticulous care, these vineyards have turned Nashik into India’s very own Napa. Chandon takes pride in spotlighting domestic grape growers, proving that world-class wines don’t just come from France or Ital… they can flourish right here, under the Indian sun. With Aurva, India’s soil, climate, and craftsmanship unite to create a red that’s velvety, nuanced, and oh-so-vibrant.

To sip Aurva is to sip the spirit of India itself, one that is grounded, graceful, and growing in recognition across the globe.
Pour Some Rouge on Me
What makes Aurva irresistible isn’t just the blend of berries, spices, and oak, it’s the narrative it carries. Each glass is a story of passion, perseverance, and the sheer audacity of India’s wine dream.
