A few countries located in and around the Caucasian Mountain Range are known as the Cradle of Wine. These countries include Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Northern Iran and Eastern Turkey. Armenia, especially, is one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world today.  The continental climate and volcanic soil in the country help it produce wines that are highly acidic in taste.

The lowest altitude of vines is located at 300m, and the cool climate of this country has a very good impact on the full-bodied nature and character of the grapes grown here. This area is known for some of the unique native grapes that you can find only in Armenia. These grapes are:

  • Karmrahyut – known for its dominant tannins
  • Arenia – most popular red grape varietal of Armenia; famously addressed as the Armenian Pinot Noir
  • Kangun – Highly acidic and citrus fruit; grown only in high-altitude areas

Winemaking technique

These barrels are temperature controlled and designed in such a way that the wines represent the true character and flavour of the grapes used to craft them.

Grape varietals grown
