Question: What are the key grapes used in the production of Armenian wines?
Answer: Armenia, possibly the birthplace of ancient wine making, has some interesting unique indigenous late ripening grape varieties. Your scribe believes the future is bright for more Armenian wines of good value appearing in the world marketplace. The main white is VOSKEHAT “golden berry” that is being touted as the new Chenin Blanc. The red star is the juicy, intense ARENI NOIR that has some characteristics similar to Pinot Noir & Sangiovese. There is a recent detailed article by Kate Dingwall in Wine Enthusiast on the main 9 grapes of Armenian wine linked here. Suggest checking some of them out.
