“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious recognition,” said Rajeev Samant, CEO, Sula Vineyards. “This acknowledgement further validates Janus’ groundbreaking project to create India’s first 100% premium grape brandy. Winners are determined in part by experts in the industry. We are pleased that they have recognised our efforts to lead the industry in terms of innovation and quality.”

The product embodies the exceptional French Cognac making heritage and the expertise of Sula in selecting the best Indian grapes. It is made from carefully selected grapes from the best Indian vineyards which are then double distilled in small batches using traditional French alembic pot stills, to produce a liquor of exceptional smoothness and character.
