Description

Masterfully crafted by Armenia’s oldest and most prominent winery, Voskevaz, this is an outstanding dessert wine. Voskevaz Katarine is made of the indigenous Kakhet grape. Harvest took place later in the season, when sugar levels were peaking. Skilful winemaking has preserved marvellous aromas of dark red fruit and spices, dark chocolate, coffee and cloves, as well as pronounced notes of dried fruits such as figs, prunes and raisins.

On the palate, the tannins are ripe and velvety and the sweetness is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the wine. Voskevaz Katarine is a powerful yet elegant, tawny Port-style wine. It has an outstanding ageing potential of over 20 years. Katarine is a marvellous digestive and creates brilliant pairings with chocolate, coffee, dried fruits and nuts.

Wine Origins

Armenia

The land of snow-peaked mountains, fast-flowing rivers and ancient churches, Armenia boasts several millennia of wine history, yet it remains one of the best kept secrets of the world of wine. The plethora of Armenian indigenous grapes is truly mind blowing, and so is the quality of wines.

Kakhet (Milagh)

Kakhet, also known as Milagh, is an Armenian black grape variety with its origin tracing back to the 4th century. The name “Kakhet” can be translated as “hanging” or “suspended”. Most likely, this name comes from the old days when the grapes were hung to dry over winter. Kakhet is often blended with other indigenous grapes to produce outstanding full-bodied dry wines.
