Bengaluru: KADU (pronounced Kaa-du) is the first premium wine offering from the Karnataka vineyards of Sula Vineyards, India’s leading wine producer. K?du, meaning “wild or forest” in Kannada, is India’s first “Wine for a Cause.” The beautiful label, handiwork of renowned label designer Simon Frouws, depicts a tiger in all its glory in the wild jungle.
Karnataka is home to most number of wild tigers on the planet in its many reserves. But the majestic beast – India’s national animal – is endangered, with its habitat under threat.
Sula has decided to take up the cause of the magnificent tiger with K?du, India’s first “wine for a cause.” With each bottle of K?du sold, Sula will contribute to the tiger conservation within Karnataka. To ensure the optimum end-use of the funds contributed, Sula is collaborating with Mud on Boots, the pioneering initiative by the Sanctuary Foundation.
Bittu Sehgal, legendary conservationist, founder of Sanctuary and Sula founder, CEO Rajeev Samant launched K?du in Bengaluru on 6 November 2017.
K?du is Sula’s homage to Karnataka as one of India’s most important wine regions. K?du is the fruit of Sula’s efforts to bring the best from Karnataka’s terroir to your glass.
Four delicious K?du wines will be available initially, K?du Chenin Blanc – is delicious, slightly sweet, floral and fruity, K?du Sauvignon Blanc–has delicate aromas and flavours of passion fruit, cut grass and green peppers, K?du Shiraz Rose–is light, fruity and full of luscious berry flavours and K?du Cabernet Shiraz–is lush, medium bodied and peppery with subtle oak.
Winemaker Gorakh Gaikwad has crafted K?du from the choicest premium Karnataka wine grapes to produce this wonderful “Wine for a cause!”
Come help Save the tiger, one sip at a time!
