Tasting Notes
Ripe pomegranate in color, a dry full-bodied red with an intense bouquet. Black currant, cherries and vanilla notes create a flavor that persists and evolves.
Terroir
Clay-based soil that partially consists of sedimentary rocks. The continental climate with high daytime temperatures and colder nights comes together with Haghtanak grapes into a bold, intense wine.
Winemaker: from a dream to reality
Tushpa is the dream of Mihran Manasserian who studied winemaking at the Armenian National Agrarian University during the Soviet Union era and worked for different wineries. In 1992, after the Soviet Union collapsed, he bought and planted six hectares of vines located 35 kilometers from Yerevan and nestled below the Biblical Mt. Ararat. It was a hard time for many in the country, but Mihran believed in TUSHPA and was able to build a great success.
