Our Armenian wines

In the eighth century , Armenia was called the "land of vineyards" . The vine proliferated in these regions in the wild for over a million years before being domesticated. More than a decade ago, a series of archaeological "firsts" were discovered in a cliffside cave near the mountain town of Areni. These include the oldest known shoe, the oldest known brain tissue from the Old World, and a 6,100-year-old wine cellar, the oldest ever discovered on earth. In what is now known as Areni Cave , the public can see cylindrical clay vessels (each over a meter in diameter) where wine was produced for burial ceremonies.
