In the heart of Armenia, beneath the impressive shadow of Mount Ararat, Karas Wines is sparking a true revolution in winemaking. The name "Karas," which means "amphora" in Armenian, refers to the traditional clay vessels that have been used in wine production for over 6000 years. This strong connection to Armenia’s ancient winemaking tradition inspires Karas Wines to redefine the future of wine from one of the world’s oldest wine regions, with the goal of creating some of the most sought-after wines at a global level.
Despite Armenia’s rich winemaking history, the country had not fully integrated modern techniques into production until Karas Wines entered the scene. The major change began when the company hired an experienced winemaker from Argentina's Mendoza region, with the mission of innovating production methods. Additionally, Karas brought in the expertise of the globally respected wine consultant Michel Roland to guide their innovative approach. This powerful combination of knowledge and creativity marked the beginning of a new chapter in Armenia’s wine world.
Since its founding in 2003, Karas Wines has carefully selected its vineyards in ideal locations near Yerevan, at the foot of the majestic Mount Ararat. The vineyards benefit from fertile black volcanic soils and varying elevations ranging from 400 to 1100 meters, providing optimal conditions for growing grapes of exceptional quality. With a strong focus on quality and tradition, Karas Wines produces wines that honor the rich history of Armenian winemaking, while also appealing to modern wine enthusiasts. The combination of abundant sunshine and volcanic soils gives their grapes a unique character, expressing the exceptional Armenian terroir in every bottle.
