Karas Single Vineyard Areni 2021

Karas Single Vineyard Areni 2021 is a distinctive Armenian red wine grown in the volcanic soils of Armavir, nestled between the legendary Mount Ararat and Mount Aragats. This wine is crafted entirely from Areni, an indigenous grape that has flourished for centuries in the high-altitude vineyards of the region. Fermented in traditional Armenian oak barrels and aged for eight months in amphorae—locally known as karas—this expression is a pure reflection of Armenia’s ancient winemaking heritage and modern craftsmanship. The result is a small-production, terroir-driven wine with an alcohol content of 13%.

On the nose, Karas Areni 2021 opens with aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberries, and subtle spice. The palate reveals a harmonious structure, where soft tannins carry flavors of cherry, plum, cracked pepper, and a touch of vanilla. Its balanced acidity and earthy undertones offer a refined depth that evolves with each sip. This elegant yet vibrant profile makes it an ideal match for grilled lamb, tomato-based pastas, and Armenia’s traditional khorovats. It performs best when served slightly below room temperature, between 16°C to 18°C, to accentuate its fruit and mineral complexity.

Sourced from Tierras de Armenia’s single vineyard estate, this wine represents a union of heritage and innovation. With guidance from Argentine winemaker Gabriel Rocha and the expertise of Michel Rolland, Karas continues to push the boundaries of Armenian viticulture. Each bottle of Karas Single Vineyard Areni is an invitation to explore Armenia’s rebirth as a modern wine destination, offering a story etched in soil, amphora, and vine.
