Keush, Blanc de Noirs

Keush was recently featured in the James Beard Award winning documentary "Cup of Salvation". It's an amazing story about a father and daughter confront war and an impossible country to show what wine means to humankind.

The Areni grape is an ancient variety, native to Armenia. This unique sparkler has strong aromas of fresh apple tart, cherries and baking spices. It’s expressive and complex with refreshing acidity and minerality. The flavors and aromas are of an ancient land and grape where the oldest excavated winemaking facility in the world has been found and dates to an astonishing 6,100 years ago!

Perfect for seafood of all sorts, fried foods, as well as young, white cheeses. Of course, you can’t go wrong sipping this while watching Cup of Salvation on SommTV.

Everything you need to know about Keush’s producer Vahe Keushguerian and his daughter is in the documentary “Cup of Salvation”. It’s a truly amazing story and well worth watching. During filming in 2020, war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan adding an additional layer of tension and a testament to the strong spirit of this exceptional family. The film also covers Vahe’s quest to make the first wine from Iranian grapes in 40 years.
