Award-Winning Wines
True to the numerous awards it has won, both in India and abroad, SDU Winery has crafted some of the finest Indian wines and continues to do so.
Only the highest quality of French grapes, home-grown and nurtured in our own vineyards, are selected in the making of SDU wines, led by winemaker Andrea Valentinuzzi from Italy.
Andrea adds his mastery and flair to SDU Winery’s winemaking process and together with a winning team, is committed to produce a range of award winning Indian wines, each of which is distinctively SDU.

Our grapes
At SDU Winery, we want our wines to represent the grapes’ primary expression. We ensure that the same unique characteristic is maintained throughout the winemaking process. We use high quality stainless steel equipment and tanks, as well as oak barrels for fermentation and maturation facilitated by our rigorous in-house laboratory analyses.

Our tanks
When our grapes hit the crush pad, they go through a crusher-destemmer manufactured by the Italian brand ‘Della Toffola’. The extracted grape juices are then fermented in one of our stainless steel tanks with automatic temperature control. This is achieved by a myriad of different sized insulated stainless steel tanks installed along with a robust refrigeration to preserve the fruitiness of the grape.

Our barrels
SDU Winery utilizes French oak barrels in its production process which are custom built at niche cooperages, Sylvain and Orion. French oak barrels are characteristically subtle and spicy, offering textures of satin or silk

Our ageing method
After fermentation, the wine is allowed to age in the same stainless steel tanks. They are subjected to routine analysis, frequent tasting and quality assessment - ensuring the wine’s character and quality is garnered. When the wine is ready, it is bottled and packaged in the winery using a Bertolaso monoblock for capsule placement and pressure-sensitive labelling to bring you the very finest wines. The winery matures a selected portion of its wines in French oak casks for a minimum of 6 months to produce its ‘Reserve’ wines. There is an extensive Tasting Room at the winery, with both indoors and open-air settings and total seating for over 40 visitors.
