It was a matter of pride for the hospitality industry and consumers of high quality Indian wines.<\/p>\n<p>The following 3 wines were launched in collaboration with Grover Vineyards which had started the process of premiumisation of Indian wins by using technology, many years ago, making it a&nbsp; leader in the super-premier wines, even though <strong>Ravi Viswanathan<\/strong>, the then Chairman might have gone overboard in investments causing financial turbulence:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Turya Chardonnay Viognier Blend<\/strong> 13.5 % Alc Price- Rs. 5000<\/p>\n<p>Their Viognier always used to be an excellent wine. By blending with Chardonnay, they have added the character of Chardonnay as well.

Turya \u2019C\u2019 Tempranillo (2015)<\/strong> 13.5% Alc, Price Rs. 6,000<\/p>\n<p>I tasted the first vintage of Tempranillo at the Pali Village Caf\u00e9, Bandra in 2013 with a full range of Charosa wines. Impressed with the quality, I had opined then that Charosa, the first Indian winery with 100% Tempranillo grapes, will be a \u2018long race ka <em>ghorha (horse)<\/em>\u2019. When the project started, the brief from the Founder, Mr. Gulabchand (the owner of HCC) brief was simple and short. &#8216;I don\u2019t want to make the best wine in the world but let\u2019s make the best wine in India. Money is no constraint.\u2019 With the financial backing and his passion behind the project , it was not an impossible task.<\/p>\n<p>Layered with dark berries, figs, tobacco and leather, offering a deep, timeless character, this wine is well priced on- trade for its character. Incidentally, for the inquisitive minds,&nbsp; C stands for Charosa!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Turya Private Barrique Reserve Shiraz 2019<\/strong> 13.5% Alc Price Rs. 12,000<\/p>\n<p>This is a bold Shiraz from the same base wine used for making the ultra-luxury <em><u>Signet<\/u><\/em> label from Grover as curated by Ravi Viswanathan. The Leela wanted more depth and complexity and asked for a longer maturing in special new 225 L barrels- two were imported, adding to the cost and of course ageability, complexity and quality of tannins. A sure delight for wine connoisseurs who will not paying higher due to the increased cost, with the wine offering a refined balance of dark fruit and warm spice, crafted for discerning palates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Atul Tiwari<\/strong>, (Long-time Sommelier and now Director of Operations) at the Leela Palace Hotel tells delWine, \u2018Turya is not just a label we created, it is a reflection of countless conversations, vineyard walks, tastings and moments of introspection. It embodies our belief that Indian wine has a story worthy of global admiration. To see it come alive at The Leela Palace New Delhi fills me with pride, gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility to continue championing homegrown excellence.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46-225x300.webp\" alt=\"Leela Hotel Delhi launches TURIYA Premium Private Indian Wine Labels \" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46-767x1024.webp 767w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46-768x1025.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46-1024x1367.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/whatsapp-image-2025-12-03-at-19-22-46.webp 1110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>Positioned as an expression of India\u2019s increasing wine consumption potential, the label Turya is inspired by the Sanskrit concept of the word that symbolizes transcendence and purity, bringing together natural rhythm, artisanal craft and modern Indian luxury sensibilities.
