Keush: The Sparkling Wine that Elevates Armenian Heritage

The Story of Keush

Founded in 2013 by Vahe Keushguerian, a wine industry veteran with extensive experience in Italy, the United States, and Armenia, Keush represents a unique blend of innovation and tradition. The winery draws inspiration from the village of Khachik, a rural community in southwestern Armenia, perched at over 1,800 meters above sea level. In this rugged landscape, ungrafted vines aged 60 to 100 years thrive in volcanic soils, producing unique Armenian grape varieties such as Areni, Voskehat, and Khatouni.

These challenging conditions give rise to wines of exceptional character, making every bottle a tribute to the resilience of Armenian viticulture.
