A vineyard older than the borders around it

— shaped by this place —

Vayots Dzor is a mountainous region in southern Armenia, where wine has been made for thousands of years. Its valleys have been cultivated by generations of farmers and winemakers, long before the borders of the modern world were drawn.

Parseghyan Vineyards is rooted in this landscape, in the village of Aghavnadzor. Our vineyards, our varieties and our way of working are shaped by this place.

100+ years old

Volcanic soil
Basalt and volcanic tuff, laid down by ancient eruptions, give the soil sharp drainage and the wines their distinct mineral edge.
High elevation
Vineyards from 1,200–1,500 meters above sea level; wide day-to-night swings preserve natural acidity.
Dry-farmed
No irrigation — the vines rely on natural rainfall alone, deepening roots and concentrating flavor.
Late harvest
Picked in early November, later than most, for full ripeness in the mountain air.
Native varieties
Areni Noir and Khatoun Kharji — indigenous Armenian grapes grown here for centuries.
Small-batch
5,000–10,000 bottles a year, made and bottled entirely by hand.
The name of the vineyard

Odzi Ktsats

— beaten by the snake —

Long before it belonged to us, this plot already had a name. Vayots Dzor has always been viper country, and the old story goes that a man once stole grapes from this exact hillside — until, one day, the snake caught him first. To the villagers, it was less a warning than a guardian doing its job. The village never forgot it, and neither did the name of the land.

It's why our second label is called Odz — "snake," in Armenian. And it's why two small marks appear across everything we make: not decoration, but a bite.
