Vayots Dzor is not Armenia's largest wine-growing region, but it is undoubtedly the most prestigious, with a history dating back to the very origins of viticulture: it is home to the first known wine cellar, dating from the 4th millennium BC. This high-altitude vineyard (1,400m to 1,650m), isolated from the world by its steep terrain, has never been affected by phylloxera and is still entirely planted with ungrafted indigenous grape varieties.
Produced with two indigenous grape varieties, Voskeat and Garandmak, Voskì is a vibrant dry white wine (12.5% alcohol) with a lively freshness that is not without generosity. It has a beautiful aromatic expression, sappy and finely acidic (lemon, grapefruit, broom), reminiscent of the Vermentinos of Provence.
Vayots Dzor may not be Armenia's largest wine-growing region, but it is undoubtedly its most prestigious, with a history dating back to the very origins of viticulture: the first known wine-making cellar can be found here, dating back to the 4th millennium BC. This high-altitude vineyard (1400m to 1650m), isolated from the rest of the world by its steep slopes, was spared phylloxera and is still entirely planted with ungrafted autochthonous grape varieties.
Karasi follows in the tradition of these ancient wines: 100% aréni noir (one of the oldest known grape varieties), organic viticulture, indigenous yeast fermentation, ageing in traditional amphorae (Karas)... A full-bodied, fleshy wine with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite and pepper.
