Areni Noir or simply Areni(The King of Armenian Grapes) is an unknown ancient grape variety that captures an utterly unique aspect of human history(known as the oldest surviving grape variety in the world),as it recalls the very origins of wine-making. It only came to prominence recently, when a varietal Areni wine was nominated as one of the‘top 10 wines of 2012’by Bloomberg, who sampled more than4,000 wines from around the worldbefore reaching their decision.This was even more worth mentioning, for the fact that it stood side by side to wines like 1989 Château Haut-Brion and Quinta do Noval’s National Legendary Port.
Ancient Areni grape varieties which have survived and evolved through the ages. These individual vines create a multiplicity within this variety which cannot be seen as anything other than the whole of the vineyard. This is extreme, high-altitude viticulture with ancient ultra-centennial bush vineyards at 1600m above sea level. It's a phylloxera-free terroir with a combination of volcanic, sedimentary and limestone soils with no irrigation.
Areni is native to Armenia, which is the birthplace of viticulture. Areni has always been at the centre of Armenian wine tradition and is the most important red wine grape in the country. The tannins in these wines are medium and acidity is medium to high. The body is medium and can have a lovely skin texture. Aromas of red and black fruits, with hints of cassis and spices are followed by flavours of cherry, raspberry, mulberry and blackberry, leading to a slightly bitter but very pleasant finish. Oak can add additional vanilla and smoky notes. It is best to drink these wines within a couple of years of release, although the best quality wines can improve and gain complexity, for a decade or more. Some of these wines have been likened to a cross between two classic grape varieties: Pinot noir and Sangiovese. Areni noir isextremely disease-resistant andis particularlyadaptedto strong diurnal temperature variations.
Produced in Armenia, home to the world's oldest winery, Areni-1 cave complex, '6200 years of crafting wine'.
Pairs well with grilled red meat, pasta, pizza and cheeses.
