The Wine Enthusiast portal has included Armenia in the seven up-and-coming wine regions that should be on wine lovers’ radar. 

“Armenia’s wine renaissance is happening in real time, according to Ani Mouradian of Van Ardi, Armenia’s first post-Soviet, boutique winery. ‘The world can be watching live as we are progressing through the golden age of Armenian wine,’ she says,” the portal noted.  

“For Armenia’s winemakers, what’s old is new again. Evidence of winemaking in Armenia dates back at least 6,000 years. (…). Today, ancient sites and grapes are being revived,” Wine Enthusiast added.     

‘“Armenia is fast being recognized globally for a set of wines that have a beautiful blend of familiarity and uniqueness that sparks a satisfying intrigue among consumers,’ says Zack Armen, the second-generation Armenian-American who in 2018 founded Storica Wines, which imports Armenian wines to the U.S. In addition to Areni, which has a fresh and juicy profile similar to Pinot Noir, the white grape Voskehat—meaning ‘golden berry’—is poised as a Chardonnay alternative,” the aforesaid portal noted.
