A Tradition where Passion
meets Perfection…
Our passion for wine and respect for traditions have made the dream of Premium Indian Wines come true. The history starts from the 1960s with Kanwal Grover, father of Indian viticulture, and is being enriched with every generation.
Our Philosophy
The culmination of a merger between Grover Vineyards and Vallée de Vin, Grover Zampa exhibits the most impressive pedigree in the Indian wine industry and owns an array of widely recognized brands. Grover Zampa endeavours to let connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts embark on a journey of senses through not only offering them the world-class wines but also enhancing the wine’s blissful experience through wine tourism and wine education.
Based on the belief that a wine should bring out the most faithful expression of its grape varietal and terroir, Grover Zampa spend the summers carefully capturing the essence of grapes through internationally accepted techniques and practices reliably brought to India for making the finest range of wines.
Our dual locations, the Nandi Hills in Karnataka and the Nashik Valley in Maharashtra give us the opportunity to extract the best of India. The natural protection of the Nandi Hills and the terraced slopes of Nashik offer fresh climate, fertile soil and the perfect conditions for vine growing.
The best wines are made from the best vineyard. Our skilled team works scrupulously using sustainable practices coupled with selective hand harvesting. Daily attention is given to the vines to make sure that no chance is given to hazard. Our wines are appealing yet distinctive in style by applying up-to-date viticulture and winemaking techniques.
“Less is more” helps us to maintain a high level of quality. We keep the quality high by limiting yields to bring out the complex aromas and delicate flavors from the grapes.
The grapes are processed in temperature controlled cellars equipped with modern resources and our own bottling lines to ensure that the quality remains uncompromised throughout the wine making process.
In addition, the entire method of wine-making is finely orchestrated and monitored by the world famous wine consultant Michel Rolland to give a discrete style and balance to the wines.
