This producer is known all over the world for excellent varieties of cognac, which receive awards and are highly appreciated by experienced tasters. The plant's products are popular even in the homeland of cognac, in France.

Thanks to the amazing climate that reigns in the Ararat Valley, unique grape varieties grow here. In the distant 19th century across Europe a terrible misfortune took place - aphids destroyed almost the whole harvest of grapes. Many wineries were left without profit, but only not those that stood in the valley of Mount Ararat. Here the grapes survived, survived, and it did not have to be cultivated and brought out again.

"Ah, Tamar!"

Akhtamar is an island that is located on the Turkish coast. In the distant past it was settled by Armenian dynasties. There is a legend about the appearance of the island. The king had a daughter Tamar, in love with a beautiful young man. He did not like his father: his daughter was imprisoned in a high castle, the young man died in the abyss of the sea. Dying, the lover constantly repeated: "Ah, Tamar!" The girl so no one else fell in love, lived her own life in confinement, bearing sorrow and sadness. The island was named in honor of unfulfilled hopes, unhappy and sorrowful love.

Responses to the legend were the production of Akhtamar cigarettes, very scarce in the Union, and cognac. "Akhtamar" - cognac, produced since 1967. With his deep saturated color, he symbolizes the deepest sadness of the unhappy girl in love. Many people call this cognac a drink of lovers.
