Karas is undoubtedly the most prominent winery in Armenia, and this prestige is undoubtedly due to their collaboration with the famous wine consultant and winemaker Michel Rolland. Located in the breathtaking Ararat Valley, the winery draws from a unique terroir of volcanic origin. The soil consists of lightly eroded clay formed by basalt, enriched with high levels of carbonate and limestone, volcanic tuff, and alluvial stones. The climate in the valley is characterized by hot summers and cold, dry winters. A notable detail is that Karas proudly states '6,200 years of winemaking' on their labels, reflecting their deep-rooted winemaking tradition. Few wineries can boast such a rich history. Karas Wines is owned by the Eurnekian family, where sustainability, family bonds, tradition, and expertise come together. This Armenian winery operates under the watchful eye of the majestic Mount Ararat. Their mission is to produce world-class wines from grapes grown in their own vineyards in Armavir, Armenia. The name 'Karas' means 'amphora' in Armenian, referring to the sacred clay wine vessel that has been used here for 6,000 years. This rich history, combined with the ancient winemaking traditions of Armenia, serves as an inspiration for Karas to shape the future of the birthplace of wine, while striving for recognition as a producer of the world's most sought-after wines.
