HistorySula Vineyards was founded by Mr. Rajeev Samant in 1998. Samant studied engineering at Stanford University and worked at Oracle in San Francisco thereafter. After quitting his corporate job, Samant established Sula upon his return to India. He initially experimented with crops such as mangoes, roses, teakwood, and table grapes before realising that Nashik’s climate and temperature were well-suited for growing wine grapes. In consultation with Kerry Damskey, a Californian winemaker, Samant set up the first winery in the Nashik region of India.[2] Sula was named after Samant's mother – 'Sulabha'. Samant steadily expanded the company over the next few years by introducing newer grape varieties and expanding the company’s offerings.[2] Today, the Nashik region is known as the 'Wine Capital of India' and is home to almost 50 wineries.[3] Currently, Sula operates two wineries at Nashik and Dindori in Maharashtra, and have taken over three custom crush facilities in Nashik and Karnataka.[4] Sula’s grapes come from their vineyards as well as from contract farmers across the region. The company's viticulture team trains and educates these farmers on best practices. In 2015, Sula announced a price increase of 10% for its contract farmers in order to support the farmers through unpredictable changes in weather as well as to meet the increasing demand for wine in India.[4][5] ProductsWinesSula’s domestic products includes the following wines: Red wine [6]
SpiritsAs of July 2015, Sula ventured into the production of spirits and launched India’s first 100% grape brandy, 'Janus'.[16] Import and exportSula’s import arm, 'Sula Selections', partners with leading global wine and spirit brands and distributes them to the Indian market. Some of the import selections are Glenfiddich, Remy Martin, Asahi, and Hardy’s.[14] Sula exports to 26 countries and is listed with Marks & Spencers, an international UK-based retail brand.[15] Business decisionsDuring the recession in India between 2008-2009, the Indian wine industry was heavily impacted because of large quantities of unsold wines and delayed payments.[4] This affected not only the wine companies but also the Indian farmers. Samant decided to reduce next year’s grape crushing targets and to introduce a line of affordable wines at a lower price range in order to weather these losses. These decisions eventually helped the company to evolve their business model and to reach larger market segments.[4] Sula is on track to sell a million cases this year.SustainabilityAs per their "grow good wine with minimal environmental impact,"[16] Sula has undertaken the following environmental sustainable practices at their Nashik winery:
SulaFestThe annual live music festival ‘SulaFest’ takes place at their Nashik winery.[19] SulaFest is an annual two-day 'gourmet world music festival' held at Sula Vineyards in Nashik. With an exception to the 10th SulaFest which was a three-day festival. Started in 2008,[20] this festival offers music, drinks, food, and fashion. Some of the activities the festival-goers can engage in include grape stomping, wine tasting, and camping.[21] Awards and recognition
