Armenia among 7 up-and-coming wine regions, according to Wine Enthusiast

Armenia has caught the attention of Wine Enthusiast, featuring the country in their latest article ’7 Up-and-Coming Wine Regions That Should Be on Your Radar’, the Armenian Tourism Committee reports on Facebook.

“For Armenia’s winemakers, what’s old is new again. Evidence of winemaking in Armenia dates back at least 6,000 years. (Evidence of ancient winemaking can be found in the Areni-1 cave, after which Armenia’s most important red grape is named.) Today, ancient sites and grapes are being revived. So, too, are techniques such as amphora aging and the practice of kakhani, the careful drying of grape bunches hung on ropes,” writes Wine Enthusiast.
