Hallgarten Druitt Sula Vineyards, Maharashtra, Zinfandel 2020 Appealing notes of smoky cooked plums with spice and pepper through to a supple and lingering finish. Producer Note Situated in Nashik, India's largest grape-growing region, Sula Vineyards was set up in 1997 by Rajeev Samant & Kerry Damsky. They pioneered the growing of the French grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, which were first released in 2000 to wide acclaim as India's best white wines. Sula now cultivates Shiraz and Zinfandel amongst other international varieties and is broadly recognised as India's premium wine producer. At Sula, they believe in being a steward of the land and follow sustainable practices. As an eco-friendly company, a significant amount of resources is committed to sustainable winemaking practices and ensuring fair livelihoods for Sula's community of farmers across Maharashtra and Karnataka. A large number of Sula's workers come from disadvantaged communities and have seen a significant change in their standard of living through their employment with the company; this has been nothing short of a revolution in the surrounding villages. Vineyard Since its inception Sula has been working to integrate a wide array of measures at its 97 hectare estate vineyard and within its winery to minimise the environmental impact of not only its farming, but also its processing and distribution practices. In the vineyard the vines are trained on a high trellising system, which maximises airflow. The red soil is composed of clay and gravel, which has a high iron content and offers the vine good drainage. Winemaking The grapes were fermented with selected yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the varietal characteristics of Zinfandel.

  • Chapter Iii Wine Industry in Nashik District
    CHAPTER III WINE INDUSTRY IN NASHIK DISTRICT - AN OVERVIEW CHAPTER THREE WINE INDUSTRY IN NASHIK DISTRICT - AN OVERVIEW 3.1 Present Scenario of the Wine Industry in Nashik District India forms a part of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries characterised by emerging economies with a fast expanding consumer base. The teaming middle class population residing in the Indian cities form the high growth consumer segment aspiring for affluent standard of living with strong propensity towards consumer splurges on food and beverage delicacies like wine. Truong (2012) noted that the global wine industry is being increasingly influenced by the emergence of the two super economies - China and India and their developing taste for wine. Figure 3.1 shows the major players of the global wine industry. India closely follows the New World norms of winemaking laying emphasis on varietal wines and blended wines. In India commercial winemaking commenced in 1984 when Chateau Indage established its winery at Narayangaon, Maharashtra. The contributions made by the Indian winemaking majors like Chateau Indage, Grover Vineyards and Sula Vineyards enabled the domestic wine industry to take long strides. Source: Truong, 2012 Fig. 3.1 Major players of the global wine industry 73 3.1.1 Wine Market Dynamics and Consumer Trends Jacob (2008) reported that gradually Indians are developing a taste for wine and there has been a steady rise in the consumption of domestically produced wines. The fast expanding consumer base, rising levels of disposable incomes, the desire for the new upper class to experiment with new tastes and more luxury lifestyles, frequent travels abroad, international research on health benefits of wine - all have given the necessary fillip to the indigenous wine industry apart from the fact that good quality wines are now available in the market (Truong, 2012; Karibasappa et al., 2011).

  • “ Indian Grape Varieties” Introduction
    “ INDIAN GRAPE VARIETIES” INTRODUCTION Cultivated grapes are believed to have been introduced into the north of India by the Persian invaders in 1300 AD, from where they were introduced into the south. Famous Indian medicine scholars, Sasruta and Charaka in their medical treatises entitled ‘Sasruta Samhita’ and ‘Charaka Samhita’, respectively, written during 1356-1220 BC, mentioned the medicinal properties of grapes. Kautilya in his ‘Arthashastra’ written in the fourth century BC mentioned the type of land suitable for grape cultivation. “CLIMATE AND GRAPE GROWING REGIONS” The Western Ghats have laterite soils which are rich in iron with good drainage. They vary from sandy clay loam and red laterite, basalt rock to murrum soils, all well suited for wine grape cultivation. The summer growing season in India tends to be very hot and prone to monsoons. Many of India's wine regions also fall within the tropical climate band. Summertime temperature can get as hot as 113 °F (45 °C) and wintertime lows can fall to 46°F (8°C). During the peak growing season between June and August, rainfall averages 25–60 inches (625-1,500 mm). Grapes are usually harvested at the end of winter (January–March), which helps to expose the crop to warm days and cool nights. This exposure aids in the slow maturation of the grapes, enhancing their quality. “CLIMATE AND GRAPE GROWING REGIONS” Vineyards are then planted at higher altitudes along slopes and hillsides to benefit from cooler air and some protection from wind. The altitude of India's vineyards typically range from around 660 ft (200 m) in Karnataka, 984 ft (300 m) in Maharashtra, 2,600 ft (800 m) along the slopes of the Sahyadri to 3,300 ft (1000 m) in Kashmir.
