Karas Wines embodies the perfect harmony of sustainability, family tradition, and expertise, with the majestic Mount Ararat standing as a silent witness. The winery's mission is to create exceptional vintages from their own vineyards in the beautiful Armavir region of Armenia, wines that deserve global recognition. The name 'Karas' originates from the Armenian word for 'amphora,' a sacred clay vessel that has been used in winemaking for 6,000 years. This rich heritage, combined with Armenia's ancient oenological culture, serves as the inspiration for shaping the future of the birthplace of wine, while also reclaiming their position as producers of some of the world's most coveted wines. The Eurnekian family, originally spread across the world through the Armenian diaspora but with deep roots in Armenia, has found their way back to their homeland. They cherish a profound desire to restore ancient traditions while safeguarding sustainable ecosystems and biodiversity. Their experience is invaluable. Eduardo Eurnekian and Juliana Del Aguila Eurnekian, an uncle and niece, are the visionaries behind the prestigious vineyard estate Bodega Del Fin Del Mundo in Neuquén, Argentina. Together, they have been producing wines in Patagonia for over a decade, a region known for its indigenous grape varieties. Over the years, Juliana, a dedicated wine expert and sommelier, has further enriched her wine knowledge under the mentorship of none other than Michel Rolland. With this unique combination of experience and dedication, they brought the Karas project to life in Armavir, where the volcanic terroir imparts a distinctive character to the wines. They are determined that Karas will bridge Armenia and the rest of the world, adding a new chapter to the rich history of Armenian winemaking.
