This wine brilliantly depicts the unique terroir of its high-altitude vineyard in Vayots Dzor, Armenia's ancient winemaking region. Its profound ruby red hue sets the stage, leading way to rich berry aromas, fascinatingly blended with earthy undertones. This artisanal masterpiece portrays a delightful complexity, displaying layers of ripe red fruits with a lingering hint of exotic spices. It comes full-bodied, with a charming balance of firm tannins and high acidity, leaving a long-lasting, velvety finish. Certainly, an intriguing discovery for wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

This wine boasts aromas of spiced red and dark berries, dried herbs and pepper with subtle hints of anise. On the palate, rich fruit flavours are interwoven with smooth tannins and a lifted acidity that lingers on the long finish.
