Gevorkian Ariats Areni Kes Kakhani Multi Vintage

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.
