National, 17th April 2025: Sula Vineyards, India’s leading wine producer, is expanding the reach of its premium portfolio with the introduction of four more wines in the Canteen Stores Department (CSD). The inclusion of India’s no 1 premium red wine Dindori Reserve Shiraz, along with three iconic labels — RĀSĀ Syrah, The Source Grenache Rosé, and Sula Riesling — reinforces Sula’s commitment to bringing the finest Indian wines to a broader audience.
As the CSD solidifies its role in India’s growing wine market, Sula remains at the forefront of this transformation, leading in both listings and supplies. With CSD wine sales having grown by 40% over the past two years, the addition of these four new wines expands Sula’s portfolio to nine labels. The first shipment was dispatched in March 2025, setting the stage for a strong performance in FY26.
Rajeev Samant, CEO, Sula Vineyards said, Marking a key milestone, Sula has secured the listing of four new wines in the CSD, following the culmination of a two-year-long process. Dindori Reserve Shiraz, one of Sula’s best red wines, is now entering the CSD and is expected to further accelerate momentum in this segment. This expansion marks a strategic move to strengthen our elite and premium portfolio, reinforcing Sula’s leadership in India’s evolving wine landscape.”
