KRSMA Estates
Crafted with passion, wines from KRSMA Estates are an expression of its unique terroir in Hampi Hills, India.
About the winery
KRSMA Estates’ vineyard is perched on the slopes of Hampi Hills at an altitude of 590 meters above sea level. Hampi Hills, hitherto unknown for its wines or even as a wine producing region, is unique in many aspects. The terroir consists of iron-rich schist type soils, receives minimal rainfall and is cool during nights, especially at the time of ripening. Founding Directors Krishna Prasad and Uma Chigurupati have spared no expense in ensuring the unique terroir expresses itself through their wines. Driving their effort to ensure that they reap the best of terroir, is their firm belief that ‘the best fertilizer for the vineyard are the owners’ footsteps’.

History & Geography
The seeds were first sown in the 70s when a young Krishna Prasad first tasted wine that the local bishop imported from the Vatican. He then decided to try his hand at making it, a passion his young wife, Uma, shared with him. Many years later, as they traveled the world tasting wine and visiting wineries, their desire to make world-class wine of their own grew stronger. And so began their search that took them to many places, but none that reflected their pioneering spirit. That was when Krishna Prasad and Uma decided to search beyond the usual wine producing regions in the country. On one such sojourn they came across a tiny vineyard nestled amongst the rocky terrain in Hampi Hills, just 70kms from the World Heritage Site. One look and they fell in love with its rolling hills with spectacular landscape views.
