Armenian valley between Mount Ararat and the Araxes river, vineyards at 1,000–1,600 m on volcanic soils (basalt, tuff, pumice), one of the world's oldest winemaking sites (Areni cave, 6,100 years old). Areni Noir is the signature native red: elegant and silky with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, spices and volcanic mineral notes, fine tannins — often compared to Pinot Noir. Voskehat textured and Kangun fresh in whites. Quality renaissance since 2000.
