Known as India’s wine capital, people visit Nashik for a tranquil experience with their families and friends, while sipping on wine and gorging on good food. This socializing aspect is a vital part of the wine tour and tasting in the city.
Apart from weekend groups, there is also a strong interest among overseas travelers in following wine trails in India. Their goal is to taste Indian wine after having tasted wines from established regions around the world for years.
Fortunately, several vineyards in Nashik offer more than wine tasting. They also provide the opportunity to meet the winemakers and learn about the winemaking process. Resvera Lounge with its Jamun wines, is one such brand, which has opened the doors for a similar experience and to boost wine tourism in Maharashtra.
Jamun fruit forms the core of Resvera Wine, a fruit wine made with a focus on creating a delicious flavor. Creating a wine that is consumed and enjoyed 365 days a year is the company’s ultimate goal. A fusion of jamun fruit combined with divine smoothness, Resvera creates a rich taste with enticing aroma to make it a perfect pairing with most meals.
The taste of Jamun is the biggest USP of the product, since it is a crowd-pleaser, and offers something special that complements the Indian palate very well. Jamun also has several health benefits since it is a rich source of nutrients, is anti-diabetic, and purifies the blood.
Resvera produces wine from organically sourced Jamun fruit from the jungles in Maharashtra. It is empowering the tribal community of regions where the fruit is extracted, giving them an opportunity to earn a living. Resvera Winery creates its wines with a holistic philosophy and believes in giving back to nature.
The brand’s intention wasn’t to become an alcohol brand, but rather to give people a delicious experience. “We have created an elegant and tastefully-done Resvera Lounge to bring a world of contrasts and paint the town with Jamun. His thoughtfully created lounge gives a one-of-a-kind experience amidst a beautiful ambience. When the sun goes down and the city lights go up, sip on the World’s First Jamun Wine complemented by exquisite food,” said Komal Piyush Somani, Co-founder and Director, Resvera Winery.
“Nashik has been recognized as the Wine Capital of India, and the history of wine in India traces back to as many as 5000 years. Under the one district one product scheme, Govt of India recognized Wine as the main product for Nashik. indigenous fruits like Jamun, Mulberry, Jackfruit, Indian Gooseberry, Apple, and Mango have their mention in Scriptures like Rigveda, these fruits’ have proven health benefits. There is a need to make these native Indian fruits popular and have a global footprint of the same in the present times. Resvera is processing some of these native Indian fruits and making wine from these fruits. We need to promote these made-in-India wines of fruits that are native to our country” said Nikhil Khode, Resvera Winery’s Co-founder and Head of Production. “The opening of the Resvera Lounge will make sure that Nashik is a testimony to the age-old traditions of making wine from not only grapes but other native fruits of India which are well understood to the Indian pallet” continued.
Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, Director of the company added that every glass of wine enjoyed by the Resvera lovers at this new Lounge will also result in the plantation of few Jamun Trees in the reserved areas. “So far Resvera team and all the Tribal people associated with Resvera have planted more than 1 Lakh Trees in the last 6 years. Creation of this beautiful Resvera lounge is to give a different experience of fruit wines to the wine lovers and our first offering is world’s first Jamun wine,” he opined.
