These look to be some of the best soils in the Nasik Valley, making wines of impressive clarity of flavor.

I am yet to try the Vinsura Chenin Blanc and wonder how it compares to Sula’s.

For the first time visitor to India, the road out from Mumbai provides thrills galore, but worth every near-collision to meet the bright, determined and knowledgable people who are leading the way to improved wine quality in Nasik!

They have an impressive operation located in a government funded “Wine Park” where a group of wineries can share common equipment and learn from on another. Here I thought I could buy tickets to a roller coasters while guzzling their fizzy…

Thanks Alok for the exciting update on Karnataka! Please do keep me updated.

Lights-out with Indian cuisine!

The Maharashtra story is likely to be replicated over the next few years in karnataka, which has just unveiled a new Wine Policy that will make producing wine easier & cheaper (licencing, land, inputs) and the selling/ consuming of wines easier & cheaper (licencing of wine taverns, permitting sale in department stores, removal of label registration fees, reduction of duties & taxes).

If the policy is implemented in toto, wine volumes in Bangalore should double in the next 1 year – and grow at least @ 50% annually thereafter.

Will keep you posted.

The main growing region, Maharashtra, is home to 40 wineries and Michel Rolland has included Grover Vineyards in his world winemaking circuit since 1995. (Dr. Vino) [...]
