Wine House
Karas Wines brings together sustainability, family tradition and deep-rooted expertise in a beautiful winery, located at the foot of the majestic Mount Ararat. The core of their mission is to create world-class wines, rooted in their own vineyards in Armavir, Armenia. The name of this winery, “Karas”, refers to the “amphora” in Armenian, a sacred clay vessel that has been used here for wine making for 6,000 years. This ancient oenological culture of Armenia serves as inspiration for the winery as they focus on the future of the birthplace of wine. They aim to put Armenia back on the map as a producer of the world's most sought-after wines. Here, under the watchful eye of Mount Ararat, tradition and innovation come together to produce wines that capture the essence of this historic land.
Hidden in the shadow of the venerable Mount Ararat, Armavir with its rich terroir proved to be a natural choice to blossom the story of Karas Wines. Armavir's history stretches far back to the Bronze Age, which is confirmed by the discovery of amphorae used as many as 6,000 years ago in the Areni-1 cave, a stone's throw from the Karas winery. Together with other notable archaeological discoveries in winemaking, this establishes Armenia as the oldest wine-growing culture in the world. Although the past is deeply rooted in this project, Karas Wines also realizes the crucial importance of responsible stewardship for the future. Thanks to Armavir's special terroir, characterized by fertile volcanic soils and a unique climate with significant temperature fluctuations, Karas Wines embraces a sustainable and organic approach in line with Bioma practices. This allows them to ensure that their vineyards thrive in healthy conditions, free from harmful chemical additives.
