Description
Vineyard
Tierras de Armenia, founded in 2003, is today one of the most prominent and modern wineries in Armenia. The vineyard is situated between the Ararat and Aragats Mountains in the Armavir district, which, due to its excellent climatic conditions, has been a significant center for agricultural development in the Southern Caucasus since ancient times. The company’s vineyards cover more than 400 hectares and are located at an altitude of 1000-1200 meters above sea level. Here, both native and international grape varieties are cultivated, including white grapes such as chardonnay, viognier, kangun, and muscat, and red grapes such as malbec, tannat, syrah, merlot, and others. At Tierras de Armenia, they strive to harness the latest advancements in winemaking. That’s why they’ve appointed the talented Argentine winemaker Gabriel Rocha as their head oenologist and the world-renowned consultant winemaker Michel Rolland as their oenological advisor. Gabriel Rocha describes his work as follows: “I aim to ensure that every wine represents its origin, soil, climate, people… so that it stands out from the rest. I believe this is one of the most important characteristics of this beverage. Here, in Armenia, I see a lot of potential! We just need the courage to break through the stereotypes.”
