Wine Tourism in India has been a booming industry for the past few years. Gone are the days when people raved about the classic French vineyards. Instead, Indians are flocking to Nashik to visit the iconic vineyards, which offers the best of Indian wine culture. Gradually, Indian wines have made an indelible mark on the international platform. Similarly, in this article, we explore an Indian wine brand—Rhythm Winery.
The Story of Rhythm Winery
Based out of Pune, Rhythm Winery is a part of Hill Crest Foods and Beverages. However, this brand is not restricted to only grape wines, they specialise in fruit-based wines! This wine brand began its journey in 2011, with the vision to map Indian wines on the global map. Situated in Pune on the way to Khadakwasla, Narhegaon, the winery is known for its fruit-based wines in experimental flavours like Pineapple, Strawberry, Kiwi, Peach, Plum and their most popular - the Alphonso Mango Wine! The essence of the brand is to offer the best of tropical fruit wines, which will work best for the Indian palate and food combinations. All the fruits sourced for the production of these high-quality wines are organic and naturally grown. Over the years, the brand has grown its client base and expanded beyond borders. The slightly ripe and sweet fruit gives these wines a hint of tartness. As most Indians' palates and food choices don’t go well with the concept of cheese and wines, these wines are compatible with strong Indian food flavours.
Fruit-based Wines and Premium Blends
These wines are light and have a semi-sweet taste, which differs from the regular grape wine one would expect. Overall, this wine has a clean, fresh and fruity finish with bitters leaving a dry finish. The fruit picked for this wine is from all over Maharashtra and other states, like the strawberry is from Panchagani, mango is sourced from Ratnagiri. Now, one can also purchase their premium blends in fruit-infused flavours like Mulberry! The brand has now added Raspberry to their newest premium-blend collection! A unique creation, isn’t it? The delicate flavour of these premium blends enhances the taste of simple Indian dishes prepared at home, making every meal memorable and vibrant. These wines are also soft enough (in terms of their taste) to go with cheesy pasta and complex oriental and spice-rich food as well. The premium blend wines taste best when they are served at a temperature between 8 to 10 degrees Celsius.
Best Selling Wines
From the orchards directly to the winery, Rhythm Wines are known for their authenticity and commitment to producing the best-tasting wines! With every fruit brought from the regional parts of India, it makes it the ideal fruit-based wine. Like Peaches from the lucious orchards of North India and Kiwi from the lush green farms of Arunachal Pradesh, the raw materials are sourced organically. Their best-selling wines are the Alphonso Mango, Pineapple, Strawberry and the Mulberry from their premium collection.
The Alphonso Mango wine is a semi-sweet drink that complements Indian and Thai cuisine. Being a light-bodied fruit wine, it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone drink as well. Sourced from the chilly region of Mahabaleshwar, these strawberries are sweet and rich in flavour. The Strawberry Wine has a semi-sweet taste which perfectly complements savoury items such as kebabs, salads and pastas. This wine goes exceptionally well when paired with desserts like pound cakes and milk chocolates. Their fruit-based wines have garnered a lot of attention. Rhythm Winery is changing the landscape of the Indian wine industry with its flamboyant creations and mapping Indian wines on the global platform.
