The wine is really bad. The nose is OK but you can tell it lacks fruit, the palate is thin and has flavours of boiled green beans, grass and battery acid.
A lot of hotels in India carry this brand. This is a shame as there are other, better Indian made whites around or just above this price point.

I hope something is wrong with this bottle but the nose is dreadful.
Palate is bit better. Front palate is food but quickly is taken over by a lemony acidic finish. I get hints of vinegar as well. Perhaps this bottle is off but I wouldn't buy this again.

The nose was simple but not unpleasant, with grassy gooseberries and citrussy limes that were quite classic Sauvignon Blanc. The palate was similarly simple, with limey, zesty flavours at the fore. This was a big wine though, especially when not chilled that well, with fat alcoholic notes that the otherwise decent acidity could not mask. Some Indian spice than emerged on the finish. While not disastrous, this was not all that enjoyable to drink either. (1525 views) |
| Sula Vineyards Producer website
Sula Vineyards’ winemaking philosophy is very simple and straightforward: it takes great grapes to make great wine.
Rajeev Samant began Sula Vineyards in 1997. After graduating from Stanford, he returned home to India with winemaking on his mind, turning his attentions to a family-owned plot of 30 acres in Nashik, India’s most important table-grape growing region. The terroir and climate there were, in fact, ideally suited to growing wine grapes, but nobody had really considered the idea as a viable business proposition. Rajeev teamed up with Kerry Damskey, a leading winemaker from California’s Sonoma Valley, and planted the first vines in 1997. Despite a great deal of initial resistance—the wine business in India was practically nonexistent, and getting a winery license was difficult—Rajeev’s distinctly Californian philosophy of a winery open to the public has sparked a wine revolution, leading to an excellent atmosphere of cooperation between the growing number of wineries in the area.
