Bright, radiant color with elegant reflections Expressive nose with pome fruit, stone fruit, and citrus Creamy mouthfeel carried by lively acidity Kangun grape variety as a clear calling card of Armenia’s origin Moderate alcohol, precise maturation in stainless steel tank Production of Kangun dry by AKOOM The grapes for Kangun dry come from carefully selected sites in the Armenian growing region of Armavir. The continental climate with hot, dry summers and cool nights gives the Kangun variety intense aromatics and pronounced freshness. The vines take root in mineral-driven soils, where volcanic components, gravel, and sandy structures combine. This combination provides clarity on the nose and firm contours on the palate. Harvesting is done by selective hand-picking. As a result, grapes reach the winery intact and in an optimal state of ripeness. The first selection already takes place in the vineyard directly on the vine; in the cellar, another selection of the harvested grapes follows. Only the best grape lots are finally used for pressing, which clearly shapes the aromatic purity of the wine. After gentle pressing and controlled pre-clarification, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks begins. This maturation preserves the clear fruit of pear, green apple, and peach and emphasizes the citrus nuances of lemon zest. No wood is used, so the character of Kangun remains unadulterated, precise, and focused on the grape variety. Regular lees aging shapes the creamy texture, lends the wine additional smoothness, and underscores the harmonious structure. The winemaker’s style focuses on transparency and expression of origin. The autochthonous Kangun variety consistently takes center stage. Every step from vineyard to bottling serves to preserve freshness, delicate fruit aromas, and the elegant line of acidity. The modern, minimalist design of the Bordeaux bottle reflects this purism and presents the wine in a contemporary, clear look.

The ideal serving temperature is 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass. At this temperature, the wine presents its freshness, creamy texture, and differentiated aromatics to the greatest effect. Too low a temperature blocks the fruit; if served too warm, the structure appears less firm. Stored for a few years in a well-stocked wine cellar or a cool pantry at a consistently low temperature and in the dark, this wine retains its precise aromatic profile and is always ready for an expressive moment of enjoyment.
