The Kotayk region, located in the heart of Armenia, is an emerging terroir that increasingly fascinates wine enthusiasts. Nestled between the Caucasus Mountains, it benefits from an ideal continental climate for viticulture, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The region's volcanic soils, rich in minerals, lend the wines a unique depth and complexity.
Kotayk is particularly renowned for its high-quality vineyards, producing indigenous Armenian grape varieties such as Areni and Voskehat, which offer distinct flavor profiles. Areni, often compared to Pinot Noir, delights with its notes of red fruits, black pepper, and earth. On the other hand, Voskehat, a white grape, is known for its delicate floral aromas and vibrant freshness.
Traditional winemaking methods, combined with modern techniques, allow for balanced and harmonious wines that carry the authentic signature of Kotayk. This region, still relatively unknown to the general public, presents an exceptional opportunity to enrich your cellar with bottles that bring a touch of exoticism and millennia-old history.
