Gevorkian Amphora White Dry is a magnificent white wine from Armenia, crafted from the refined Voskehat and Kangun grape varieties. The Voskehat grape has thrived for centuries on the fertile slopes around Voskehat, a town near Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. This indigenous white grape variety is known for its abundant sugars and rich flavor profile. The Kangun grape, also known as Kangoun, is another Armenian variety traditionally used for distilling brandy. However, in recent decades, winemakers have discovered that the Kangun grape also produces excellent results for white wine, with surprising and flavorful outcomes. These grapes are grown in the unique terroirs of the Ararat Valley. What gives this wine extra character is the six-month aging in clay karases. These traditional clay amphorae contribute to the complexity and depth of the wine. Gevorkian Amphora White Dry is proudly presented as a masterpiece straight from Armenia, with a modest alcohol content of 12%. A true discovery for connoisseurs seeking a unique and delightful white wine experience.
