WINE DESCRIPTION

Karas Red is a distinctive and bold red wine produced by Karas Wines, located in the Armavir region of Armenia. This innovative winery is part of the larger Tierras de Armenia initiative, which has been instrumental in revitalizing the Armenian wine industry by introducing modern viticultural techniques while respecting the country's ancient winemaking traditions. Karas Red is a testament to this blend of innovation and tradition, crafted from a mix of international and indigenous grape varieties, including Areni, Sireni, Malbec, and Merlot, among others. The vineyards are set in an extraordinary landscape, benefiting from high altitude, rich volcanic soils, and a climate that provides the perfect conditions for these varieties to flourish

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Karas Red offers a complex and layered experience, starting with its deep, inviting ruby hue.The nose is rich with aromas of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, elegantly intertwined with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a subtle hint of spice, derived from aging in both new and used oak barrels. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and rich, delivering a symphony of flavors that echo its aromatic complexity. The dark fruit notes are complemented by undertones of mocha, leather, and a touch of earthiness, leading to a well-rounded and persistent finish. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, supporting the wine's structure and making it suitable for aging.
