INDUSTRIAL VISIT TO SULA VINEYARD & WINERY

Dear Members,
The Membership Development & Services Committee of BMA is organizing an Industrial visit to SULA VINEYARD & WINERY on 25th
February, 2014

About SULA Vineyard

Situated 180 km northeast of Mumbai, Nashik is Indias largest grape-growing region, but had traditionally never been used to grow wine
grapes. Wondering why, an enterprising, Stanford-trained engineer named Rajeev Samant quit his hi-tech Silicon Valley job in 1993 to do
some investigation. 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. His determination doubled and Rajeev 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 Rajeevs 30 acre family estate. Since its inception, Sula has rapidly established itself as Indias Leading Premium Wine Producer,
helping spark a wine revolution that has seen consumption grow at 25% annually and several new wineries come up in the Nashik area. In
November 2002, Wine Spectator - the worlds No.1 wine magazine - did a five-page feature on Sula, a proud first for an Indian winery.
A second winery with three times the capacity of the first was completed in late 2004 to keep up with demand, and a third million litre
winery started operations in 2006. Sula has expanded from the original 30 acre family estate to about 1,800 acres (owned and contracted)
under plantation, both in Nashik as well as in nearby Dindori, Indias upcoming wine region. Varietals planted include Cabernet Sauvignon,
Shiraz, Zinfandel and Merlot along with Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Riesling. In addition to having a wide distribution
network within India, Sula also exports its wines internationally, as well as importing and distributing wines from leading producers
worldwide. In 2005, Sula proudly launched its first reserve wine, the Dindori Reserve Shiraz, as well as Indias first dessert wine, the Late
Harvest Chenin Blanc.
The winery and vineyards are open to the public for educational tours, and the beautiful Tasting Room invites visitors to enjoy their
favourite Sula wines amidst spectacular views of the vineyards and surrounding lakes and hills. The nearby Sula amphitheatre is an
impressive location for events and social gatherings. Visitors can now spend a few nights in paradise at BEYOND, Sulas new exclusive
accommodation on the vineyards with a beautiful lake view.
Firmly committed to remaining at the forefront of Indian wines, Sula continues to experiment with new varietals, engage in sustainable
agriculture, support the local rural economy, and, of course, make wines of outstanding quality and superb value.
