Karas Reserve Blend

Karas Reserve Blend is a bold and elegant expression of Armenia’s volcanic terroir. Sourced from the family-owned vineyards of the Ararat Valley, this wine is crafted from Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc—each varietal selected for its depth, power, and aging potential.

The grapes are hand-harvested into 20 kg boxes and carefully double-sorted before maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 14 months in a mix of Armenian and French oak barrels, developing structure, spice, and remarkable finesse.
