Cienna is a light wine with a ruby red colour and aromas of fresh berries. With fruit sweetness on the palate it is rich and juicy with a refreshing spritzig finish. The mixture of natural acidity and fruit sweetness leaves a refreshing sensation on the palate. This wine is best enjoyed young and well chilled. Try it with a spicy Chinese hot pot with Szechwan pepper chilli and coriander.
Cienna is an exciting new grape variety bred by the CSIRO Plant Industry by crossing Sumoll, a grape variety from Spain, with Cabernet Sauvignon. This new grape variety combines the best attributes of both parents, producing high quality grapes adapted for Australian conditions.
This wine is made from Cienna grapes grown in Victoria, almost entirely grown at our Mystic Park vineyard located in the sun-drenched Murray Valley.
