NASHIK –ALSO KNOWN AS INDIA’S NAPA VALLEY, IS HOME TO SULA’S ESTATE VINEYARDS AND IS INDIA’S MOST FAMOUS VINEYARD.
Situated in the Western Ghats, at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level, Nashik’s soil is of volcanic origin, ranging from weathered basalt to red laterite to heavy clay. The heavier soils are closer to the Godavari river beds while the lighter crumbly weathered red soils are closer to the northern hilly part of the region. Vineyards in proximity to hills or rivers have markedly different microclimates- the best example being Dindori, which further reflects in the quality of the wine produced here. The cool nights of Nashik ensure high levels of acid in the grapes, while warm days ensure optimum ripeness of the grapes, resulting in perfect growing conditions and terroirs for premium wine grapes.
