- This wine is rich and creamy, with a luxurious texture. It offers a beautiful bouquet of white floral notes, accompanied by the inviting aromas of ripe golden apples. There are subtle hints of vanilla and hazelnut, creating a delicate interplay of flavours. The wine is lightly touched by oak-derived complexity, offering additional layers of vanilla and hazelnut. Overall, the fruitiness of the wine is perfectly balanced by a refreshing minerality.
Winemaker Emilio del Medico meticulously selected the grapes for this cuvee to ensure only the highest quality fruit was vinified. The fruit was barrel fermented with selected yeasts in the finest Artsakh and French oak with lees contact to add complexity and texture. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 10 months in oak, six months in new French, and four months in the finest, new Artsakh oak barrels, which impart subtly vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and caramel characters.
It is a full, creamy, textured wine with a bouquet of white floral notes, ripe golden apples, and subtle hints of vanilla and hazelnut. A rich mineral freshness harmoniously balances the fruit.

Winery | The ArmAs estate is located in the Aragatsotn Province, with vineyards ranging from 700 to 1,900 meters above sea level. The altitude promotes a long ripening period; the vines produce concentrated fruit nourished by 300 days of sunshine annually, balanced by a freshness created by the cool summer nights. The ungrafted vines are planted in soils comprising 30 volcanic, limestone, and clay layers. The indigenous Voskehat (pronounced VOSS-g-hat) translates as ‘The Golden Seed’ and has hardy skin, enabling it to thrive in this environment as it copes well with the hot summers and cold winters. The grapes are manually harvested at optimum maturity. |
