Karas Semi-Sweet Sparkling White originates from the expansive vineyards in the Ararat Valley, where the imposing Mount Ararat provides a protective presence. The wine is a tribute to the ancient winemaking traditions of the Armavir region, a place that has been known for generations for its exceptional grapes. This sparkling wine is made from Muscat grapes, which are carefully handpicked. After the harvest, the juice undergoes a cold decantation for 24 hours, followed by a slow fermentation at 14°C in stainless steel tanks. This process, which lasts 30 days, takes place under controlled pressure to create the sparkle. By breaking the fermentation with cold, the natural sugars are preserved, contributing to the characteristic semi-sweet flavor profile of the wine. The alcohol content is 11%. Karas Semi-Sweet Sparkling White is a reflection of the deep tradition and rich cultural heritage of the Armavir region, where winemaking has its origins. This wine is ideal to share with friends and family, offering an opportunity to toast to life and the special moments it brings.

This semi-sweet sparkling wine has a light, pale yellow hue and a seductive aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit, peach, citrus fruits, and delicate floral notes. The sparkling bubbles provide a refined sensation on the palate, while the combination of fresh acidity and fruity sweetness creates a harmonious taste experience. Thanks to its lively and well-balanced flavor, the Karas Semi-Sweet Sparkling White is ideal for both festive occasions and casual gatherings. Serve the wine well-chilled, between 6 and 8°C, for the best experience of its refreshing taste. Store the bottle in a cool place, between 5 and 20°C, with a humidity level of up to 85%, for optimal preservation.

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.
