Description

Wine House

Karas is undoubtedly the most prominent winery in Armenia, and this is undoubtedly due to their collaboration with the renowned wine consultant and winemaker Michel Rolland. Located in the Ararat Valley, the winery benefits from a unique terroir of volcanic origin. The soil consists of lightly eroded clay formed by basalt, with high levels of carbonate and limestone, volcanic tuff, and alluvial stones. The climate in the valley is characterized by hot summers and cold, dry winters. Notably, Karas mentions on their labels: “6,200 years of winemaking,” proof of their deep-rooted wine tradition. Few wineries can boast such a rich history. Karas Wines is owned by the Eurnekian family, where sustainability, family ties, tradition, and expertise converge. This Armenian winery operates under the watchful eye of the majestic Mount Ararat. Their mission is to produce world-class vintages from grapes grown in their own vineyards in Armavir, Armenia. The name “Karas” means “amphora” in Armenian, and it refers to the sacred clay wine vessel that has been used here for 6,000 years. This rich history, combined with Armenia’s ancient wine traditions, inspires Karas to shape the future of the birthplace of wine while regaining recognition as a producer of the world’s most coveted wines.
