ORCHARD HERITAGE

Where This Story Really Comes From

Our founder, Mr. G.V.K. Naidu, has been rooted in the ground since 1996. We built Sam Agri from a single visionary idea: that India grows some of the most extraordinary fruit in the world, and all it needs is someone willing to treat it with the respect it deserves.

We became pioneers in exporting fresh pomegranate arils when nobody else thought it was possible. We built world-class processing facilities in Nashik and across South India. We earned international certifications — ISO, BRC, US FDA, Global GAP, Fairtrade — establishing the kind of trust where families in Switzerland put our fruit in their children's lunchboxes.

That trust took 25 years to build. It is the solid foundation Sam's Wine stands on today.

Why 2022?

Because by 2022, we had everything we needed and no good reason to wait any longer.

We had the farms. We had the 25 years of orchard knowledge. We had the residue-free fruit. What was missing was someone making wine that truly honored where the fruit came from. So we became that someone.

Sam's Wine is a dedicated commitment to excellence and a celebration of Indian soil — the natural next chapter of everything Sam Agri has built.

Sam's Wine Heritage
What We Believe

India's Own Wine Story

India does not need to keep borrowing Europe's wine story. We have our own authentic narrative. It lives in the sun-drenched pomegranate orchards of Nashik. It lives in fresh strawberries ripening under the winter sun.

It lives in the wild Mahua blossoms gathered from native forest trees, and in the Indian Black Plums (Jamun) that stained every one of our childhoods purple. We bring these native botanical treasures into the glass.

Our Core Winemaking Philosophy

01

Patience

Great wines are never rushed. We allow slow, natural cold-fermentation to shape each vintage, trusting the quiet process from harvest to bottle.

02

Authenticity

Every Sam's Wine is a pure, residue-free expression of our orchards. We add no artificial flavors or grape fillers, capturing pure balance and sense of place.

03

Respect for Terroir

We honor the land, the native fruits, wild blossoms, and the farming traditions passed through generations, preserving their natural integrity in every pour.
