Good to know
Produced at the Ararat distillery since 1877, this brandy draws from Armenia's viticultural heritage near Mount Ararat, using selected local grapes fermented and distilled in copper pot stills before extended aging in Caucasian oak barrels. The Dvin line pays tribute to the medieval capital of Dvin, positioning it as a bridge between tradition and refined reserve quality.
