Geographic and climatic conditions in Armenia are exceptional for vine growing. The complex interaction of natural conditions within the small territory of the country induced and affected the formation of quite a peculiar range of soil types, from the volcanic and semi-desert zone to the mountain meadow soils of an alpine type.

The climate is dry and continental due to mountains in most of the regions. Armenian grape varieties have been evolving over thousands of years of folk selection and later their spectrum was enriched by hybridization.

Here the vines grow at altitudes between 850 and 1850 m a.s.l. and on their own, ungrafted roots, which results in the surprising authenticity of the wines. Volcanic soils, harsh climate and high altitude define the fascinating uniqueness of the Armenian terroir.
