Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh and mineral Armenian white made with one of the country's indigenous varieties.
The lowdown:
Armenia, which sits just east of Turkey among the Caucasus mountains is, along with its neighbours, among the oldest wine-producing countries in the world. This delicious white, made in the chief wine-producing region in the shadow of Mount Ararat is made from Voskehat, one of the main native varieties that thrive in this part of the world. It has intense and complex aromas of white melon, green apples, along with hints of fresh rosemary and lime. This all carries through to the palate along with a streak of fresh minerality which balances the full structure really well.
The Producer:
Armenia in Transcaucasia is one of the oldest winemaking areas in the world, with a history dating back to ancient times. After emerging from the Soviet era in the 1990s, the stage was set for the revival of independent wine production. By around 2005, new and old vineyards began to sprout up again, and slowly but surely, Armenia's wine industry started to make a comeback. ArmAs is one such producer and was established in 2007 by Armen Aslanyan who set about re-planting former vineyards in the shadow of Mount Ararat, at altitudes of between 700 and 1,900 metres. The estate covers an area of 180 hectares and is given over to indigenous varieties where Italian winemaker Emilio Del Medico successfully produces a distinctively Armenian style with no small degree of success.
When to drink:
Long and elegant, it's great by itself, or as a partner to grilled fish or chicken.
