Gevorkian Ariats Areni Kes Kakhani Multi Vintage is an impressive Armenian wine from the Vayots Dzor region, one of the oldest wine regions in the world, with a protected geographical designation. This unique blend combines grapes from five different vintages: 2014, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023. Made from the indigenous Areni grape, the wine fully expresses the unique terroir of Vayots Dzor. The grapes are carefully selected and dried for 3 to 4 months using the traditional Kakhani technique, where the clusters are hung under special conditions to concentrate their aromas and flavors. After fermentation, the wine is aged for one year in Armenian oak barrels, contributing to its complexity, depth, and robust structure. With an alcohol content of 14%, Gevorkian Ariats is a powerful, expressive red wine, perfect for lovers of layered and rich wines. Discover the essence of Armenia in every glass—a harmonious blend of tradition, strength, and elegance.

The Gevorkian Ariats Areni Kes Kakhani Multi Vintage immediately captures attention with a deep ruby red color, subtly highlighted by chestnut-brown nuances. Upon opening the bottle, a rich bouquet rises, revealing ripe cherries, dried plums, and warm spices such as cinnamon and clove, delicately complemented by hints of toasted red wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful: concentrated dried fruit flavors take center stage, while soft, creamy, and lightly sweet notes create a refined balance. The finish is long and harmonious, carried by overripe blackberries and smooth tannins, leaving an impression of both intensity and elegance. This wine pairs perfectly with juicy steak, game dishes, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate. Serve at 18–20 °C to fully experience its complex flavors and refined structure.
