Moossah 2022 Amber Skin Contact Dry Wine Aragatsotn Armenia
Moossah 2022 Amber Skin Contact Dry Wine – Aragatsotn, Armenia
Wine Overview
Moossah 2022 Amber Skin Contact Dry Wine is an artisanal expression of Armenia’s winemaking heritage, crafted in the historic Aragatsotn appellation, located at the foothills of Mount Aragats — Armenia’s highest peak. This distinctive amber wine is made from an equal blend of 50% Voskehat and 50% Muscat, two iconic Armenian grape varieties. With 28 days of skin contact maceration, the wine develops a striking amber-orange hue and remarkable depth of character.
Winemaking & Style
Unlike conventional white wines where juice is separated from the grape skins, this amber wine is made using the ancient skin contact method, allowing extended contact with grape skins for 28 days. This process enhances color, structure, and aromatic intensity, resulting in a wine that bridges the freshness of white wine with the complexity of red.
Voskehat, often referred to as the “Queen of Armenian white grapes”, contributes elegance, floral aromatics, and vibrant acidity, while Muscat lends its characteristic expressiveness, spice, and fruit-forward charm.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Brilliant amber with orange and apricot hues.
- Nose: Fragrant bouquet of rose petals, floral honey, wildflowers, and delicate spice, layered with ginger and white pepper.
- Palate: Full-bodied and textured, with refreshing acidity balancing the richness. Notes of honey, citrus, and sweet apple unfold into complex layers of dried fruits.
- Finish: Lingering flavors of dried apricot, roasted nuts, and a tart mineral edge, leaving a refined and memorable aftertaste.
Food Pairing
Moossah Amber is a versatile and food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with:
- Savory dishes: Roasted lamb, grilled chicken, stews, and game meats.
- Cheeses: Hard cheeses such as aged Gouda or Manchego.
- Spiced & Aromatic cuisine: Middle Eastern mezze, Moroccan tagines, and Asian stir-fries with ginger or chili.
