Pineapple wine and grapes often take center stage in winemaking, but a tropical twist is becoming more and more well-liked pineapple wine. Tucked away in Bangalore’s verdant outskirts, the pineapple wine at Rico Wine Park and Vineyards offers a cool, exotic sensation in contrast to the conventional red wine and white wine. Whether you’re a rico wines connoisseur or a curious first-timer, here’s everything you should know about this unique creation.

What is Pineapple Wine?

Pineapple wine is a fruit wine made by fermenting the natural sugars in pineapples. Unlike grape rico wines, it has a light, tangy profile with a distinct tropical aroma and a crisp finish. It’s often slightly sweet but can be made in dry styles as well. At our winery, pineapple wine has quickly become a crowd favorite among those seeking something out of the ordinary during our vineyard tours.

How It’s Made

Like all quality wines, the process begins with selecting the best fruit at Rico. Ripe, aromatic pineapples are crushed, and wine yeasts are used to extract and ferment the juice. The wine is then aged and bottled to develop complexity. Despite its differences from conventional red wines and white wines, the craftsmanship involved is equally meticulous.  

Wine-Tasting Notes

During a wine-tasting session at our vineyards, you’ll find that pineapple wine has a unique flavour profile. It balances sweetness and acidity, with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and a crisp finish. It pairs well with spicy food, light desserts, and cheese platters, making it a versatile addition to your wine collection.

For those new to wine, pineapple wine offers an approachable, fruity alternative to heavier port wines or bold reds. It’s a great way to ease into the world of wine without overwhelming the palate.
