Cienna
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
Unique to Brown Brothers, Cienna is a grape first developed by the CSIRO in 1972, with the aim of creating a wine to suit our Australian climate. Named after the colour which shares its name, Cienna is a blend of the Sumoll and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties characterised by its slightly fizzy finish and vibrant, ruby red hue.
Notorious for tasting like summer berries in a glass, Cienna is packed with juicy bright flavours of blueberry, raspberry, and vanilla, and is best enjoyed chilled.
Wildly versatile to pair with everything from spicy Chinese hot pots to a mouth-watering meringue, Cienna is a vibrant and easy-drinking red wine that shines in hot Aussie summers and actually benefits from being kept cool in the fridge. Drink it with crushed meringue and fresh mixed berries smothered in raspberry coulis.
The wine did not receive any oak treatment and was bottled soon after fermentation.
