Classification

How it is classified

No label. A label is given only when every fact behind it is confirmed. Below is what is known about the producer.

Since 10.2026 labels are given only on confirmed facts; the former category “Small family winery” is no longer used. What changed — in the methodology

  • Grapes

    From indirect evidence

    Own vineyards

    Own vineyards are mentioned without area or location — a sign, not a confirmation.

  • Output

    From indirect evidence

    Small · under 100,000 L a year

    A narrow range from one region and a named winemaker are signs of a small producer, not a confirmation.

  • Place

    From indirect evidence

    All wines from one region: Vayots Dzor

    From the wines it releases (getwine catalogue).

Not established

  • Winemaking — No confirmation of where the wine is made: neither the producer's own word about its cellar nor a production-register entry.
  • Ownership — In Armenia, company founders are not disclosed publicly.
  • Certification — No information. We count only organic and biodynamic certificates with a control-body code or a certifier-register entry.

The Small producer label needs a confirmed output or the area of the producer's own vineyards. Send facts →

About

About the winery

A small winery in the village of Rind, Areni community, Vayots Dzor. It grew out of Jakob Schuler's 2013 trip in search of the roots of wine culture in the Caucasus; Schuler owns the Swiss house St. Jakobskellerei Schuler & Cie, and entrepreneur Zack Armen later joined the project. By 2017 the estate held two vineyards, in Rind and Aghavnadzor, at roughly 1,200–1,500 metres. It works with Areni, Voskehat and Khatouni under winemaker Pavel Vartanyan.
