Haghtanak means 'victory' in Armenian. The grape itself is a 1977 cross — Soviet-era engineering meets Caucasian terroir — and it produces wines so dark the pulp is red. Tushpa is a fourth-generation family winery in the Ararat Valley, 35km from Yerevan, at 800 metres elevation beneath Mt. Ararat. Mihran Manasserian's family never stopped believing in Haghtanak when others abandoned it. Spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts, aged in Caucasian oak. This is wine from the place where wine began.

Hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts. Aged 7 months in Caucasian oak barrels. Clay-based soil with sedimentary rock, 800m elevation, Ararat Valley.

Serve around 16°C. Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before opening, or simply don't refrigerate it.

Decanting is worth it here — pour into a decanter or any wide vessel and wait 20–30 minutes. This wine is full and structured and needs time to open up.
