Gevorkian Ariats Collection Rosé 2023

The Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé stands as the crown jewel of the Gevorkian Ariats collection, showcasing the artistry and precision of Armenian winemaking. Crafted from the esteemed Areni grape variety, this exceptional rosé is produced in the picturesque Aghavnadzor vineyards within the Vayots Dzor region. This region holds historical significance, as it is home to the cave where the world’s oldest known vineyard, dating back 6000 years, was discovered.

Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé is made using the traditional saignée (bleeding) method, a technique that ensures the highest quality in rosé production. This process involves extracting the juice immediately after the grapes release it under their own weight, without any additional pressure, resulting in a wine with delicate color and refined flavors.

The wine is fermented at a controlled temperature of 13ºC to preserve its fresh and vibrant character. With an alcohol content of 12%, Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé offers a sophisticated and well-balanced taste experience. It embodies the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Armenian winemaking, making it a distinguished choice for any connoisseur.

Flavor character of Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé 

The wine produced using saignée technology boasts a color that is both brighter and deeper, with a taste that is richer and more intense than other rosé wines. This wine presents an elegant pink hue and offers a fresh fragrance reminiscent of wildflowers. On the palate, it delivers a robust raspberry flavor, enhanced by the delicate taste of mixed berries, a touch of light acidity, and a lingering raspberry finish.

Perfect for enjoying during hot summer days, Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé stands out as a delightful wine on its own. It also pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including cream cheese, goat cheese, fresh vegetable salads, and pasta with a lemon juice dressing.

For preservation, the wine should be stored under optimal conditions—between 5 and 20°C, with a relative humidity of up to 85%. It should be kept indoors, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. The wine has an unlimited shelf life when properly stored. To fully appreciate its flavors, serve Gevorkian Ariats Areni Rosé chilled, at a temperature between 8-12°C.
