In the heart of Armenia, with the majestic Mount Ararat as a witness, a young and particularly innovative winery is flourishing: Karas Wines. This is a venture that had the courage to dream and innovate in a country with a centuries-old winemaking tradition. Armenia, one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, had fertile soil but lacked the modern knowledge to create contemporary wines. Karas Wines has changed that. The secret to their success lies in the discovery of an exceptional Argentine winemaker from Mendoza, specially brought in to transform their wine production process. Additionally, they enlisted none other than Michel Roland, a world-renowned wine consultant. Thanks to these experts and their forward-thinking spirit, Karas Wines began a new era in the Armenian wine industry. Karas Wines was founded in 2003, after carefully selecting the most suitable locations for their vineyards, located near the Armenian capital Yerevan, at the foot of the majestic Ararat Mountain. Here, they discovered fertile volcanic soil and the ideal elevations, ranging from 400 to 1100 meters, to grow grapes of unparalleled quality. Karas Wines is driven by a deep passion to create exceptional wines that not only reflect Armenia's rich history but also appeal to modern tastes. Their vineyards, blessed with abundant sunlight and the fertility of volcanic soil, yield grapes of the highest quality.
