Every great wine has a story. At YORK, it is the story of passion. The passion of the Gurnani family to make skillfully crafted wines that transcend the mainstream. It is also about their aspiration to put Indian wine on the global palate with pride.
YORK Winery Pvt. Ltd. was formed in the year 2004 with a vision to not only be an Indian winery but successfully be in the business of wines at the international level. The following year was spent researching the industry, looking at the feasibility and planning the design of the winery. The construction of the winery started in August 2006. Today, the winery building stands proud, overlooking the placid waters of the Gangapur Dam. It is a modern, efficient structure where wines that subtly express their terroir are passionately made.
York Winery intends to make wines that not only will create a benchmark in India but also be able to compete and stand their own in the competitive international market.
The first vintage produced the whites Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. The reds, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, are barrel-aged in American, French and Hungarian oak for a period of 8-10 months. There is also a Blush Zinfandel or Rose wine.
