Heritage use the grapes grown around Bangalore under the ideal climatic condition. The processing unit has 22 tanks made of stainless steel, as hygiene is on priority in our unit. Grapes are brought to the winery and crushed in stainless steel tanks then immediately sulphur-di-oxide is added to prevent any kind of infection or oxidation.The Grape Juice, pulp & the seeds are pumped into the tank through a special stainless steel pump so that the skin or seeds are not damaged. This is left in the tank to ferment for about 20 to 30 days. During this process the wine is pumped over to extract the natural colour (Anthocyanin) from the skin & the tannin (Vogaru) from the seeds which adds to the health benefits. Once the fermentation is over, wine under goes filtration at 5 different stages before it gets bottled.

We know that wine is always enjoyed & relished with good food. Hence we suggest the best suitable food, so that you have the best time and feast your taste buds and an excellent evening with your loved ones. Pair you Heritage wine with the following
