Just outside Bangalore, towards the Nandi Hills, the climate is about right for growing grapes. The founder spent his career in industry importing heavy machinery from France - and decided to experiment. French methods still proudly dominate, apparently. After some experimentation with different grapes (full history on their website) they've concluded a number of varieties work.
The tour was organised for a group from the Overseas Women's Club (including rather more menfolk than average) - and took in the vineyard proper, the making progress and some tasting. We also had some excellent biryani for lunch.
If anyone can tell me anything about English wine, would be very grateful - aside from Denbies near Mum and Dad's I know very little!
 I enjoyed the whites, but was less keen on their red. Sadly too the wine they're selling to help preserve a local endaged species is very sweet. |
