- ArmAs Winery, based in Armenia, is renowned for producing a luxurious Karmrahyut wine with bold and intense aromas. The wine exhibits a delightful combination of cranberries, cherries, plums, rose petals, and nuanced hints of white pepper and cinnamon. Upon tasting, the wine presents a full-bodied profile with a mineral-framed deep fruit core that captivates the senses.
After meticulous selection, the grapes were fermented at controlled temperatures of 25 to 27°C with selected yeasts. Lee's contact with monthly bâtonnage gave the wine a rich, textured body. Aged for a total of 24 months, the wine was transferred to Artsakh oak barrels for 12 months, which impart subtle vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and caramel characters. This was followed by a further 12 months in French oak, which delivered delicate oak spice.
A rich, opulent Karmrahyut with bold and intense aromas showing real complexity, with notes of cranberries, cherries, plums, rose petals, and hints of white pepper and cinnamon completing the aromatic melange. Full-bodied on the palate, with a mineral-framed deep fruit core, this has a lovely, lingering finish.

Winery | The ArmAs estate is located in the Aragatsotn Province (pronounced ARRA-got-sart'n), with vineyards ranging from 700 to 1,900 meters above sea level. The altitude promotes a long ripening period; the vines produce concentrated fruit nourished by 300 days of sunshine annually, balanced by a freshness created by the cool summer nights. The ungrafted vines are planted in soils comprising 30 volcanic, limestone, and clay layers. The vineyard comprises native varieties, and the Indigenous Karmrahyut (pronounced KAR-may) thrives in this terroir. |
