{"title":"Brown Brothers Cienna | A Variety That Exists Nowhere Else","description":"\u003cp\u003eCienna is not a style or a label. It is a grape variety that Brown Brothers created in partnership with CSIRO — a cross between Sumoll and Cabernet Sauvignon producing a deeply coloured, lightly sweet red wine with red berry fruit, low tannins and broad appeal. No other producer in the world makes Cienna because no other producer has access to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range spans the classic Cienna NV through to the Salted Caramel and Velvet Chocolate expressions — each one built on the same unique variety, with flavour profiles that have no direct equivalent anywhere in the market. Lightly chilled, served over ice, or enjoyed at room temperature, Cienna is the red wine for people who think they don’t drink red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"brown-brothers-cienna-nv-750ml","title":"Brown Brothers Cienna NV 750mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrown Brothers Cienna is a vibrant ruby red wine unique to Australia, blending Sumoll and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes developed by CSIRO in 1972.
