YN Products

PRONOUNCED
AS “WINE”

The focus is to provide an exceptional, entry level, affordable French wine that will be a revelation to the beginner wine indulger in India.

It is an old-world, limited batch French wine, that is produced on a need-to-order basis for the Indian consumer’s palate. It lends itself well to pairing with the rich and varied Indian Cuisine. Unlike YN that hails from traditional wine producing regions like Europe, most of the wines retailed in India are new-world in nature.

YN comes in dry wine variants like white, red, rosé and also in a semi-sweet variant too.

This wine conforms to all French and Indian statutory norms and comes as a much-needed alternative in a market that most times settles for wines well past their sell-by date.

TERROIR

According to the greatest ampelographers, Muscat has a Greek origin. A par excellence Mediterranean littoral grape found in South of France, it has adapted to different hot and sunny areas.

APPELLATIONS

GRAPE VARIETIES

60% Muscat d’Alexandrie, 40% Muscat Petits Grains

VINIFICATION

Vins Doux Naturels is a secret alchemy process discovered in the year 1285. This process sheds light on how to retain some of the natural sweetness contained in the fruit. The traditional vinification of Muscat takes place by allowing the grape juice to macerate with their skin for a short time. This helps in better extraction of the perfumes contained in the berries.

TERROIR

Found exclusively on the Mediterranean coast of Roussillon, France, Grenache Noir tastes beyond the luscious aromatic register despite the low yields.

APPELLATIONS

IGP Côtes Catalanes (Indication Géographique Protégée)

GRAPE VARIETIES

60% Grenache Noir, 40% Syrah

VINIFICATION

The grapes are crushed and the juice is left in contact with the skins. They are then soaked for 12 to 48 hours with low temperature and this helps to extract maximum aromas. The longer the maceration, the darker and more richly flavoured the wine. This is the secret to making quality rosé.
