The estate name references both the three founders and that extraordinary elevation. The Eh Voskehat is made from Voskehat, the most celebrated indigenous white variety of Armenia, grown on ungrafted old vines at around 1,450 metres on volcanic soils in Aghavnadzor. Voskehat — meaning \"golden seed\" in Armenian — produces wines with a distinctive aromatic richness: stone fruit, white flowers, herbs and honey, combined with the mineral tension that comes from altitude and volcanic soils. The 2018 vintage is vinified in the estate's low-intervention style, with indigenous yeasts and a light touch in the cellar. The result is a characterful, dry white with good structure, fresh acidity and a long mineral finish. A compelling introduction to what Armenian whites can do at altitude. Good with grilled trout, poultry, and soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eGrape variety: Voskehat (100%) from ungrafted old vines, Aghavnadzor, Vayots Dzor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eVinification: Indigenous yeast fermentation; organic farming; minimal intervention in cellar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eAging: Stainless steel; brief oak contact depending on vintage — verify with producer for 2018 protocol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eOrganoleptic description: Pale to mid gold; apricot, white peach, acacia, mineral; dry and structured palate, fresh acidity, long mineral finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eFood pairing: Grilled trout, poultry, soft and medium cheeses, herb-driven dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Grape Escape","offers":[{"title":"75 cl","offer_id":52878486438215,"sku":null,"price":47.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4327\/8663\/files\/grapeescape-eh-voskehat-trinity-canyon-vayots-dzor.webp?v=1776685773"},{"product_id":"areni-ancestors-trinity","title":"Areni Ancestors 2020","description":"\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eTrinity Canyon Vineyards was founded in 2009 in the village of Aghavnadzor, in the heart of Armenia's Vayots Dzor wine region — the same territory that holds the Areni-1 cave, where archaeologists discovered the remains of the world's oldest known wine production site, dating back around 6,100 years. Three partners with a passion for wine established the estate a short distance from that discovery, with winemaker Artem Parseghyan guiding production since the first commercial vintage in 2013. The vineyards sit at 1,300 metres above sea level on volcanic soils; about 80% of production uses indigenous Armenian varieties. The Ancestors range is Trinity's most historically minded expression: wines made in traditional Armenian karas, the terracotta amphora vessels buried in the ground to maintain optimal temperatures, in a method that continued in village households well into the 20th century. Areni Ancestors is made from Areni Noir, the emblematic grape of Vayots Dzor, grown on own-rooted vines over 100 years old. Natural fermentation for over a month, then five months of maceration in underground karas. Unfined, unfiltered, no added sulphites. The result is a wine of real depth: subtle but firm tannins, vivid acidity and a long finish that balances the earthy complexity of the karas with the bright fruit and spice of old-vine Areni from high altitude. Good with red meats, grilled lamb, spiced dishes and hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eGrape variety: Areni Noir (100%), own-rooted vines over 100 years old, volcanic soils, 1,300m altitude, Aghavnadzor, Vayots Dzor, Armenia; organic and sustainable practices; first certified organic winery in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eVinification: Natural fermentation for over a month; 5 months maceration in underground terracotta karas; no added sulphites; unfined and unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eAging: In karas (Armenian underground amphora); no added sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eOrganoleptic description: Deep ruby; ripe black fruits, spice, leather, earthy complexity; subtle firm tannins, vivid acidity, long balanced finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eFood pairing: Grilled lamb, red meats, spiced dishes, hard cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Grape Escape","offers":[{"title":"75 cl","offer_id":52887453139271,"sku":null,"price":76.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4327\/8663\/files\/grapeescape-areni-ancestors-trinity-canyon-vayots-dzor.webp?v=1772186226"}],"url":"https:\/\/grape-escape.ch\/collections\/trinity-canyon-vineyards.oembed","provider":"The Grape Escape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
