The region of Kotayk, located in the heart of Armenia, is an emerging terroir that increasingly captivates wine enthusiasts. Nestled between the Caucasus Mountains, it enjoys an ideal continental climate for viticulture, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The mineral-rich volcanic soils of this area impart a unique depth and complexity to the wines.
Kotayk is especially renowned for its high-quality vineyards, producing indigenous Armenian grape varieties such as Areni and Voskehat, which offer distinctive flavour profiles. Areni, often likened to Pinot Noir, delights with its notes of red fruits, black pepper, and earthiness. In contrast, Voskehat, a white grape variety, is known for its delicate floral aromas and vibrant freshness.
Traditional winemaking methods, combined with modern techniques, result in balanced and harmonious wines, carrying the authentic signature of Kotayk. This region, still relatively unknown to the general public, represents an exceptional opportunity to enrich your wine cellar with bottles that offer a touch of exoticism and millennia-old history.
