Discover the captivating essence of Armenian winemaking with ArmAs Voskehat Reserve, an elegant and expressive white wine from the mountainous Aragatsotn Province. Armenia, considered by many to be the cradle of winemaking, is home to the ancient Voskehat grape, prized for its resilience and ability to thrive in the region's diverse, volcanic soils. The ArmAs estate stands as a testament to Armenia's rich vinous heritage, with vines cultivated at breathtaking altitudes of 700 to 1,900 metres, where dramatic temperature shifts nurture grapes of remarkable concentration and freshness.
Expertly crafted by winemaker Emilio del Medico, this Voskehat is meticulously barrel-fermented and matured in a combination of French and Artsakh oak. The unique terroir, kissed by 300 days of sunshine and cooled by crisp mountain nights, imparts layers of complexity, from vibrant fruit to alluring mineral undertones. Each bottle is a true reflection of Armenian craftsmanship and the dramatic terroir that shapes it.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A brilliant straw-gold hue, capturing the radiance of the region's golden sunshine and hinting at the wine's sumptuous texture.
Nose:
Intensely aromatic, with a bouquet of delicate white floral notes, ripe golden apple, and subtle undertones of vanilla and hazelnut. Hints of cinnamon and clove from oak maturation add complexity, while a whisper of mineral freshness runs through the fragrant profile.
Palate:
Full, creamy, and beautifully textured, this wine greets the palate with ripe orchard fruit flavours, primarily golden apple, elegantly interwoven with nuances of hazelnut and vanilla. The oak influence provides a wrap of warmth and spice-think cinnamon, clove, and subtle caramel-without overpowering the grape's natural vibrancy. A lively backbone of minerality perfectly balances the richness, lifting the mid-palate and enhancing the lingering fruit.
Finish:
The finish is long and harmonious, showcasing a seamless integration of creamy fruit, refined spice, and a refreshing mineral edge, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and poise.
