India has a long winemaking history that stretches back to the Bronze Age. In recent years, the country has seen a dramatic rise in quality, and Indian wines are now earning attention from wine lovers across the world.

Nashik, in Maharashtra, is known as the Wine Capital of India. The region’s warm days, cooler nights and volcanic soils help international grape varieties thrive. Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Viognier all grow here with impressive results. Sula Vineyards leads the way, producing expressive wines that regularly earn high critic scores, including more than 90 points from Wine Enthusiast for their Shiraz.

India’s wine producers are investing in modern techniques and improving vineyard practices. As a result, the country is now creating wines with balance, freshness and vibrant fruit character. Quality continues to rise year after year.
