VINEYARD SOURCE: Aghavnadzor, Vayots Dzor
VARIETAL COMPOSITION:
• 90% Voskehat - or "golden berry" is considered the emblematic white variety of Armenia. It thrives in high-altitude, rocky soils, and is known for its longevity, with vines living well past 100 years. Its thick-skinned berries yield complex and expressive aromatics, including the fresh scent of the Armenian Snowdrop flower.
• 5% Khatuni - an indigenous variety with thick-skinned berries, it gives a notable crispness and unique floral expression to the wine.
• 3% Qrdi - a late-ripening variety, brings a beautiful freshness to the blend.
• 2% Garan Demak - or "sheep's tail" prefers rocky, semi-desert soils; its delicate fruit rounds out the final wine.
WINE PROFILE: Refreshing aromas of honeysuckle, melon, and crisp green apple give way to notes of toasted almond, key lime, and a hint of beeswax, with a flinty minerality and a lingering finish.
