Vayots Dzor

Vayots Dzor's reds—thick-skinned Areni and Karmrahyut grapes ripened on high, continental plateaus—carry the mineral weight of slate and a savory grip that resists easy fruit. Winemakers here favor extraction and structure over ripeness, pulling wines that taste of stone and iron before they taste of berries.
