More Information
Audarya means “nobility of the soul” in the ancient oriental language of Sanskrit. The company is named this way because respect is at the core of their values. They produce wines that are deeply connected to the territory, using native grape varieties, yet crafted with a modern touch for a spirited and curious audience.
