Grand Karas 2018
Grand Karas – A Collectible Masterpiece with Exceptional Aging Potential
Grand Karas is more than just a wine—it is a true work of art, crafted from a prestigious blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Montepulciano. This exceptional wine, produced in the Ararat Valley, perfectly showcases the harmonious blend of European varietals and the richness of the Armenian terroir. Presented in a heavy, prestigious bottle, Grand Karas is designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and wines with significant aging potential, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Terroir and Climate
The vineyards, rooted in volcanic soil composed of eroded clay, basalt, limestone, and carbonate, thrive in a continental climate with 250 sun-drenched days per year and elevations of 1300 meters. These unique growing conditions lend the wine a distinctive character, elevating the flavors and depth of the grapes.
Precision Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested in 20 kg boxes, ensuring only the finest fruit is selected through a double selection process. Fermentation and maceration are carried out under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, preserving the vibrant flavors of the grapes. Aged for 14 months in Armenian and French oak barrels and then for an additional 12 months in the bottle, Grand Karas develops extraordinary depth, complexity, and balance. This precise craftsmanship allows it to compete with the finest Bordeaux wines, offering richness and elegance on par with the world’s best.
Exceptional Aging Potential
Grand Karas is built to last. While it can be enjoyed now, its aging potential is remarkable, allowing it to mature gracefully over 10 to 15 years in a good cellar. As the wine ages, it will develop even more complexity, rewarding those who are patient with a deeper, richer flavor profile.
Tasting Notes
With its deep ruby color, Grand Karas greets you with aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and subtle spice, complemented by notes of vanilla and toasted oak from its time in barrels. The palate is full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, smooth finish. The perfect balance of fruit, oak, and refreshing acidity ensures that each sip is a luxurious experience.
Masterful Craftsmanship
Produced under the expert guidance of Head Winemaker Gabriel Rogel and famed French oenologist Michel Rolland, Grand Karas reflects the highest standards of winemaking. This collaboration of expertise brings out the full potential of the grapes, making each bottle a true testament to skill and precision.
A Wine for Collectors and Connoisseurs
Presented in a heavy, prestigious bottle, Grand Karas is a statement of elegance and sophistication. Its long aging potential and complex flavor profile make it a prized possession for collectors and a perfect choice for any special occasion. Whether you're looking to enjoy it now or save it for years to come, Grand Karas promises an unforgettable experience.
This wine stands as a powerful competitor to the world’s finest wines, offering a distinctive and luxurious experience for those who seek the very best.
