Its  bold, deep flavours, and generosity of spirit won everyone&#8217;s heart. We age this red for twelve months in French oak and then, for equally long in glass bottles. Decant and savour it with international cuisines.&nbsp; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big Banyan <a href=\"https:\/\/big-banyan.intellicent.in\/collection\/sauvignon-blanc\/\">Sauvignon Blanc<\/a> 2017, Goa \u2013 Crisp, light, and dry, our Sauvignon Blanc was bound to captivate the judges. This popular favourite is a light straw gold, and has a tinge of citrus and the aromas of a cool garden. It is ideal with a crisp salad on a hot summers day and is  an absolute must-serve at brunches. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Silver winners<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Big Banyan <a href=\"https:\/\/big-banyan.intellicent.in\/collection\/chenin-blanc\/\">Chenin Blanc<\/a> 2017, Goa \u2013 It\u2019s difficult not to fall in love with this easy-going wine.

Enjoy it at 10-12<sup>0<\/sup>C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big Banyan <a href=\"https:\/\/big-banyan.intellicent.in\/collection\/shiraz\/\">Shiraz<\/a> 2017, Goa \u2013 The appeal of this fruity, dry red is in the crush of berries and play of spices that invades your senses. The robust personality of this wine comes alive because of the grapes grown in the warmer temperatures of India. Appreciate its heady aromas with a plate of cheese or some lightly spiced meat dishes. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Bronze winners<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Big Banyan <a href=\"https:\/\/big-banyan.intellicent.in\/collection\/chardonnay\/\">Chardonnay<\/a> 2017, Goa \u2013 Bottled elegance, our Chardonnay is about fine balance. This delicate straw gold with hints of green offers intense tropical aromas of pears and pineapples and a delectable balance of minerality and acidity. Pop it open with some herb crusted halibut or a slice of Ch\u00e8vre. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once\nagain, a heartfelt thanks for all your support.
