The vineyards lie in a continentally influenced environment, characterized by clear air, abundant sunshine and dry conditions. The soils are varied, with stony, well-drained sites that lend the wine elegance and a subtle mineral imprint.

This selective picking preserves only the best, aromatically concentrated berries and protects the fragile fruit from damage. After gentle transport to the winery of Mijnaberd Alco LTD in Yerevan, careful pressing follows, keeping the must clear and finely fruity. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the typical aromas of green apple, lemon, jasmine and peach and emphasizes the wine’s clear freshness.
