Grape Varieties

BLACK GRAPES

ARENI

An ancient variety indigenous to Armenia, Areni has adapted perfectly to the high altitude, mountainous region of Vayots Dzor, where the vines thrive on the rocky, mineral-rich, volcanic soils. This late-ripening grape makes fresh, elegant, structured wines with bright red fruit flavors, and a characteristic black pepper spice.

KAKHET

A late-ripening indigenous variety, showcasing a dark, concentrated color and a high level of natural acidity, which lends vibrancy and ageability to the finished wines.

WHITE GRAPES

VOSKEHAT

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.

KHATUNI

Medium in size, the thick-skinned berries add crisp acidity and floral notes to a blend.

QRDI

A late-ripening variety that is often used in blends, contributing freshness. 

GARAN DEMAK

This grape's name translates to "sheep's tail." It thrives in rocky, semi-desert soils and, in a wine, gives delicate fruit aromas and round texture on the palate.
