Indigenious........SULA wines

I was Pretty surprised when I didn’t see, a single review on SULA wine


So just thought of to give the review taking all collections form https://sulawines.com


History


Situated 180 km northeast of Mumbai, Nashik is India’s largest grape-growing region, but had traditionally never been used to grow wine grapes. A little research quickly showed that the Nashik climate was not only perfect for wine grapes, but was also on par with winegrowing regions in Spain, California, and Australia. Rajeevs determination doubled, he returned to California in search of a winemaker. In Sonoma County he found Kerry Damskey, an eminent Californian winemaker, who enthusiastically agreed to help start a winery on Rajeev’s 30 acre family estate.


In 1997, the duo took the revolutionary step of planting French Sauvignon Blanc and Californian Chenin Blanc, varieties that had never before been planted in India. The first Ssula wines released in 2000, were widely acclaimed as Indias best white wines.           


SULA making wines of international standards and are being welcomed as the ambassadors of Indian wine across the globe, including in France, Italy, the US, UK, Canada, and Ireland


Founders


Rajeev Samant


Rajeev Samant is new India’s entrepreneurial shining star. Or sun, rather, given the widespread international recognition the Sula Vineyards’ solar logo has gotten. At the peak of his career as one of the youngest finance managers of software giant Oracle in San Francisco, this Stanford graduate quit his job and returned home to India with the seemingly crazy idea of growing grapes and making wine.


Kerry Damskey


Kerry’s winemaking philosophy is simple and straightforward: it takes great grapes to make great wine.


“It’s the winemaker’s job to articulate a definable style for a wine but you don’t create an identity – that comes from the grapes, and the grapes’ identity is directly linked to where and how they are grown, ” he explains.


A chance meeting with Rajeev Samant - a young, energetic Indian entrepreneur who had the crazy idea of setting up a winery in India - piqued Kerry’s interest.
