Its thick-skinned berries yield complex and expressive aromatics, including the fresh scent of the Armenian Snowdrop flower.
• 50% Khatuni - an indigenous variety with thick-skinned berries, it gives a notable crispness and unique floral expression to the wine.
ELEVATION: Over 4,000 ft
WINEMAKING: Stainless steel tank fermented and aged
CRITIC REVIEWS:
• 95pts, Tasting Panel Magazine - “A blend of 50% Voskehat and 50% Khatuni, this dry white possesses exotic, pronounced aromas of jasmine and ripe apricot. The sensation of lemon oil is slick on the tongue. Chamomile, pine nut, and a mineral base remain for an extended period on the finish.” - Meridith May
