The Naara Aaba Wine Company is an Indian private company located in Hong Village, Ziro, in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is renowned for producing the country's first organic kiwi wine. The company was established in October 2017 by Tage Rita, an entrepreneur from Arunachal Pradesh, who named it after her late father-in-law.
History
Naara Aaba Wine Company was founded in 2017 by Tage Rita, an agricultural engineer by training, who decided to venture into winemaking. The winery is situated in the Apatani-inhabited Hong Village, which is known for its large-scale kiwi fruit production. The company uses locally grown, organic kiwis to produce its wine, ensuring that the product is chemical-free and sustainable.
Production
The production process at Naara Aaba involves using advanced winemaking techniques with machinery imported from various parts of the world. The kiwis are harvested, fermented, and processed to create a unique and high-quality wine. The production has significantly boosted the local economy by providing livelihoods to many farmers in the region.
Distribution
Despite its high quality, Naara Aaba wine faces distribution challenges due to the remote location of Arunachal Pradesh and the poor condition of the roads. Currently, the wine is primarily available in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, priced at INR 1200 and INR 1500 per bottle respectively.
Recognition
Naara Aaba wine has gained national recognition and is used as a case study by global universities for its innovative approach to winemaking and its impact on local communities.
