Cherry Wine

Highland Armenia
Heritage

Armenian cherries have been celebrated since antiquity, the Roman general Lucullus is said to have brought the cherry tree back to Rome from the Armenian city of Giresun after his campaigns in the region, introducing the fruit to the Western world. The cherries used in this wine grow at high altitude in volcanic soil, where dramatic temperature shifts between day and night concentrate every ounce of flavor into the fruit before harvest. The result is a cherry that is deeply red all the way to the core, with an intensity that no lowland variety can match. Naturally fermented with zero artificial additives, this wine is what happens when you take that intensity and let it become something more.

What it feels like

Semi-sweet and full-bodied, with a rich cherry flavor that feels generous but never over-the-top. The finish is smooth and clean, not sticky. Overall, it's the kind of wine you pour when you want something that feels like a treat.

Perfect pairings

Duck breast with cherry reduction

The wine mirrors the sauce and amplifies the savory depth of the duck β€” a pairing that feels inevitable.

Grilled lamb

The wine's bold fruit and structure hold up beautifully to the spiced richness of ground lamb.

Aged gouda or smoked cheese

The wine's sweetness and acidity create a compelling back-and-forth with the caramel notes of aged gouda.

Notes from the boss

"Armenian cherries are different. They ripen slower, they go deeper red, and when you ferment them β€” you get something that tastes like a wine, not a juice. This bottle proves it."

The Birthplace of Wine

From Ancient Soil To Your Table

Long before the vineyards of France and Italy, long before the cellars of Napa Valley, there was Armenia β€” the cradle of winemaking. In 2011, archaeologists discovered the world's oldest known winery in the Areni-1 cave complex, dating back over 6,200 years.

This is not just wine. This is liquid heritage β€” a direct connection to the very origins of viticulture.
