The wines of Domaine Avetissyan

The vineyards of Domaine Avetissyan lie in Nagorno-Karabakh, a region in the southern Caucasus that officially belonged to Azerbaijan but was in practice governed by Armenians. It is one of the oldest wine regions in the world. For generations the Avetissyan family has made red and rosé wines there from indigenous grape varieties. Recently these have been exported again, which is great news, because Domaine Avetissyan makes characterful wines of high quality.
