Production of Kangun brut nature - Hovaz Wines

The grapes for this sparkling wine come from the Armenian wine-growing region of Aragatsotn. The region lies under the influence of the majestic Mount Aragats and benefits from a continental climate. Warm, dry summers and cool nights produce grapes with intense aromatics and a clear acid structure. The vineyards are planted on mineral-rich soils consisting of volcanic rock, limestone and light, stony layers. This combination gives the sparkling wine its focused, mineral-like character.

The harvest is carried out selectively, ensuring that only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated Kangun grapes are used. The grapes are transported to the winery as quickly and gently as possible so that their freshness is preserved in its original form. Careful selection and gentle pressing lay the foundation for the clarity and elegance of the finished sparkling wine.

The wine is produced according to the Méthode Traditionelle, meaning classic bottle fermentation. First, a still base wine is created, designed especially around freshness, finesse and low residual sugar. After bottling, the second fermentation begins, during which the fine bubbles develop. The wine then matures on its lees, giving it additional complexity, delicate yeasty notes and a creamier bead.

As a brut nature, this sparkling wine receives no dosage. This absence highlights the original character of the Kangun grape and the Armenian terroir. The winemaker’s style consistently pursues clarity, precision and expressive power. Every decision, from harvesting to disgorgement, is aimed at producing a sparkling wine with a purist profile. The modern, minimalist bottle design reflects this philosophy: focusing on what matters, without unnecessary embellishment.
