Karas Dry Muscat 2025
Karas Dry Muscat is a refined wine that originates from the region around the majestic Mount Ararat, an area steeped in ancient winemaking traditions. This exceptional wine is made from carefully selected Muscat grapes, which are hand-picked and thoroughly analyzed for perfect quality. After harvesting, the juice undergoes a gentle cold decanting for 24 hours, followed by controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14-16°C for 20 days. The result is a dry, elegant Muscat with an alcohol content of 12%, reflecting the rich history and volcanic terroir of the region in every sip. Karas Wines remains faithful to its heritage by creating wines that not only honor Armenia's past but also appeal to contemporary wine lovers with their refinement and quality.
Karas Dry Muscat is a fresh, lively white wine that offers a perfect balance between sparkle and complexity. In the glass, the wine has a clear, light yellow color reminiscent of the sun shining over the Armenian vineyards. The aroma opens with invigorating scents of tropical fruit, subtly mixed with the delicate fragrance of white flowers. With the first sip, this wine offers a pleasant freshness, combined with a balanced structure and a smooth finish that invites another sip. To fully enjoy the flavors of Karas Dry Muscat, it is recommended to serve the wine chilled, at a temperature of 8-10°C. This serving temperature ensures that the vibrant tropical accents are beautifully brought out, while the fresh acidity and floral notes are in perfect harmony. Whether you enjoy this wine on a warm summer afternoon or pair it with light dishes such as seafood, salads, or mild cheeses, Karas Dry Muscat adds a refreshing dimension to any meal. Store the wine in a dry, cool place between 15 and 20°C, with a humidity level of up to 85%. Under these conditions, the wine will maintain its refined aromas and lively structure, ensuring it retains its fresh character for many years.
In the heart of Armenia, under the watchful eye of the majestic Mount Ararat, a young and highly innovative winery is flourishing: Karas Wines. This venture has dared to dream and innovate in a country with an ancient winemaking history. Although Armenia is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, it lacked the knowledge to create modern wines despite its fertile soil. Karas Wines changed this. Their success was found in a talented Argentine winemaker from Mendoza, who was brought to Armenia specifically to revolutionize the winemaking process. Additionally, they enlisted the expertise of Michel Rolland, a world-renowned wine consultant. Thanks to these experts and their innovative approach, Karas Wines has ushered in a new era in the Armenian wine industry.
Founded in 2003, Karas Wines began by carefully selecting the ideal locations for their vineyards, situated near the Armenian capital of Yerevan, at the foot of the majestic Ararat. Here, they found fertile volcanic soil and the perfect elevations, ranging from 400 to 1100 meters, to grow grapes of exceptional quality. Driven by a deep passion for crafting outstanding wines, Karas Wines strives to produce wines that both reflect the rich history of Armenia and meet modern taste preferences. Their vineyards, bathed in sunlight and nourished by fertile volcanic soil, yield grapes of the highest quality.
