reserve range. In 2003, Shaambhavi planted the first vineyard in the
Nandi Valley appellation.
Eight years later, she knew that the product of SDU Winery would be
truly exceptional. Combining her passion for fine wines with a knack
for managing the everyday business operations of a winery, she found
the art of making wine a sensorial experience. With a state-of-the-art
winery located in south Karnataka, Shaambhavi is recognized as one
of the pioneers in the boutique winemaking movement.
