Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Armavir's climate suitable for winemaking?

The high altitude and the large number of sunny days (about 300 per year) allow the grapes to accumulate a lot of sugar while maintaining the necessary acidity due to cool nights.

Which Armavir wine should I choose as a gift?

The safest and most interesting choice for gifts would be an oak-aged Haghtanak or an authentic Karmrahyut, speaking to the region's uniqueness.

Are these wines very tannic?

The reds can have firm tannins, so it is recommended to decant them before serving or taste them with protein-rich food.
