Areni Noir: The King of Armenian Grapes: At the heart of Sharan Red Dry lies the mysterious and illustrious Areni Noir, also known as the "King of Armenian Grapes." This ancient varietal encapsulates an utterly unique aspect of human history, standing as the oldest surviving grape variety in the world. The story of Areni Noir is a journey through time, an exploration of the very origins of winemaking. Despite its age-old lineage, Areni Noir stepped into the spotlight more recently when a varietal Areni wine was heralded as one of the "top 10 wines of 2012" by Bloomberg. This recognition placed it side by side with renowned wines like the 1989 Château Haut-Brion and Quinta do Noval's National Legendary Port.

Areni Noir's Evolution: An Ode to Terroir: Areni Noir, through its various ancient strains, has not only survived but evolved through the ages. Each individual vine contributes to the complexity and diversity of this grape variety, enriching it with a depth that is a reflection of the entire vineyard. The unique terroir of Armenia, particularly in the high-altitude vineyards situated at 1600m above sea level, provides a nurturing environment for these ancient ultra-centennial bush vineyards. The region's phylloxera-free terroir, coupled with volcanic, sedimentary, and limestone soils and the absence of irrigation, imparts distinct qualities to the grapes, which are then translated into the wine.

Areni Noir: A Symbol of Armenia's Winemaking Heritage: Areni Noir is more than a grape; it's a symbol of Armenia's rich winemaking heritage. As the birthplace of viticulture, Armenia has nurtured this grape variety for generations. Areni Noir has always been at the core of the Armenian wine tradition, serving as the cornerstone of the country's red wine production. Wines crafted from Areni Noir grapes offer a medium tannin structure and medium to high acidity, complemented by a medium body that carries a delightful skin texture.

A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors: The Taste Journey: With each sip of Sharan Red Dry, you embark on a sensory voyage. The wine's aromas of red and black fruits, coupled with hints of cassis and spices, are your ticket to this symphonic journey. As the wine caresses your palate, flavours of cherry, raspberry, mulberry, and blackberry unfold, leading to a finish that is delicately bitter yet utterly pleasurable.

Oak Aging: An Elevation of Excellence: The influence of oak aging takes Sharan Red Dry to a realm of excellence beyond measure. This period of maturation imparts exquisite notes of spices, toasted accents, and a delicate hint of coffee. The wine gains an elegant smokiness and a creamy texture that further elevates the tasting experience, creating a tapestry of flavours that linger in your memory.

Agreeability and Versatility: Sharan Red Dry 750ml is an embodiment of the potential that Areni Noir possesses. While it's recommended to enjoy these wines within a few years of release, the highest quality wines are known to improve with age, gaining complexity and depth over a decade or more. Some expressions of Areni Noir have even been likened to a harmonious cross between two classic grape varieties – Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. This grape variety's unique attributes, such as its exceptional disease resistance and adaptability to strong diurnal temperature variations, contribute to its remarkable versatility.

A Heritage of Craftsmanship: Armenia's Oldest Winery: Sharan Red Dry 750ml hails from Armenia, a country that boasts the world's oldest winery – the Areni-1 cave complex, with a legacy spanning over 6200 years of crafting wine. This rich heritage of winemaking mastery is encapsulated within every bottle of Sharan Red Dry, connecting modern enthusiasts to a tradition that has thrived for millennia.
