DRY AMBER NATURAL WINE – VOSKEHAT ANCESTORS’ 2022
Made from 100% Voskehat grapes harvested from centuries-old, own-rooted vines in Aghavnadzor (Vayots Dzor, Armenia), this amber wine was naturally fermented and macerated for 6 months in underground karas (Armenian terracotta vessels). It is unfined, unfiltered and contains no added sulfites — an authentic reflection of Armenia’s ancient winemaking traditions.
With its amber color and brick reflections, this wine reveals a floral and fruity bouquet of dried apricots, ripe yellow fruits, and aromatic herbs, balanced by cinnamon and hints of fresh grass. The skin contact fermentation brings a subtle tannic structure and expressive acidity. Grown as bush vines in volcanic soil at 1450 m elevation, Voskehat Ancestors’ pairs beautifully with aged cheeses or can be enjoyed on its own. It can age up to 6 years, with optimal expression after 2.
