The Beginning
In 2003, Shambhavi Hingorani saw her long-held dream of a sprawling vineyard take shape on the rich, loamy soils of the Nandi Valley appellation located in the south west region of Karnataka close to the well-known garden city of Bangalore. SDU Winery was the culmination of this dream and was the first boutique winery from this appellation.
