KARAS SINGLE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY WHITE DRY RESERVE WINE 2021
Armenian heritage, each of our bottles represent our ancient traditions and culture, our restauration spirit and world class standards.
Single Vineyard
Our Single Vineyard harvests indigenous grapes as well as Old World varieties from vineyards planted at the foot of Mount Ararat, then ages them in karas. Combined with the Ararat Valley’s unique volcanic soil profile, we’ve crafted a striking Caucasian identity, with notable earthy, fruity and structured characteristics, a true expression of the valley.
