Koghba – Dry White Wine Koghb, Tavush Province – Armenia 🇦🇲
Overview A serious and complex white crafted from 70% Banants and 30% Rkatsiteli, two indigenous Armenian grapes. This blend from Tavush province leans into oxidative winemaking, giving it a bold and distinctive style that recalls Sherry Fino — but without the solera system, making it unmistakably Armenian.
Aromas & Flavors Nutty, oxidative layers of almonds and walnuts unfold with ripe banana and subtle orchard fruit. A savory, mineral streak and a faint touch of salinity frame the wine, creating depth and intrigue.
Mouthfeel Full-bodied and textural, with oxidative tension driving through the mid-palate. The finish is long, persistent, and contemplative — it keeps your palate engaged well beyond the sip.
Food Pairing Ideal with aged cheeses, roasted nuts, and Mediterranean mezze. Adventurous drinkers will enjoy it alongside sushi or earthy mushroom dishes.
Verdict A thought-provoking white wine that blends indigenous grapes with oxidative character. Not for the casual sipper, but for wine explorers and Sherry lovers, it’s a rare and rewarding find. Cheers!🥂 — 4 days ago
