Volcanic soil with high content of sand and gravel. Continental climate with around 250 sun days/year. Vineyard elevation – 1300 m above the sea level

Varietal: 100% Areni Noir | Alcohol: 19%

Vinification This wine is made from overmatured Areni grapes harvested in mid-November. Grapes are destemmed and crushed, after which the wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation in open oak barrels. At the mid-fermentation, it is fortified with Areni grape spirit, maintaining a high level of residual sugar and obtaining high alcohol content. Additional two weeks of maceration are performed after the fortification process. The wine is aged for 30 months in only one single Caucasian oak barrel

Deep Purple

This dessert wine is characterized by subtle, yet powerful tannins, vivid acidity which is harmoniously balanced with its pronounced sweetness. The high alcohol content creates an even longer and fuller aftertaste. An elegant fruit bouquet with aromas of ripe berries and plum jam blends with hints of spice, caramel and vanilla

Best enjoyed on its own as a digestif or paired with chocolate desserts

Could be immediately consumed but will reveal its potential in 2 years. It can be kept for 10 years in a good cellar
