Azerbaijan is a wine-producing country.

Pinot Noir leads the plantings, with Rkatsiteli alongside it.

The ground underneath is clay, loam and sand.

The climate is varied, running arid, continental and semi-arid.

The vineyards themselves read as coastal.

Red wine, white wine and sparkling wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows full-bodied with rich fruit flavors, aromatic with fresh citrus notes, crisp and refreshing and hint of floral.

At the table these bottles work with grilled meats, spicy dishes, seafood and cheeses.
