Grapes & Wines
From the pink Madrasa to ruby pomegranate wine.
What the wine is famed for
Azerbaijan is rich in grapes: both ancient native varieties and imported European ones grow here. From them red, white and dessert wines are made — and also a special pomegranate wine, for which the land is no less famous than for its grape wine.

Sunlight in a glass
The wines of Azerbaijan absorb the warmth of the southern sun and the character of the Caucasian land: rich reds, light whites and sweet dessert wines. And pomegranate wine has become a true calling card of the land — served as a local marvel to guests and connoisseurs alike.
In a single glass — the sun of the valley, the oak barrel and thousands of years of craft.
