The century-old vineyards of Khachik, Armenia serve as a military border.
Keush started purchasing grapes from this border village of the southwestern Vayots Dzor province in 2013. Many farmers had previously abandoned the vineyards due to the absence of a market for grapes. Farmers have since returned to harvest grapes for wine on land that now sits between Armenian and Azerbaijani military bases.

I’ve been enjoying Zulal wine now for about a year and a half when its available in Canada and always wondered whose bright idea it was! Now I know, Bravo Aimee! Im all in for tasting more rare indigenous grape variety wines from Armenia. They make great gifts for my odar friends as well! Keep up the great work. This is important for local Armenian employment in Artsakh as well. We will prevail.
As the father of two daughters I am so proud of Aimee to risk her life to pursue her dreams. As my mother would say “you can do it”. Several years ago we traveled to Armenian and I was amazed at how good Armenian wines are.
