Stork Red Areni Montepulciano

Origin:           Vayots Dzor and Armavir regions, Armenia
Wine Style:    Dry Red Wine (Blend)
Vinification: Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes from single vineyard sites were blended for maceration. Fermentation took place in a combination of Armenian oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The wine was then matured in stainless steel tanks and partially aged in new French oak barrels before being blended prior to bottling. The blend combines indigenous Armenian Areni grapes harvested in Vayots Dzor with deeply coloured Montepulciano grown in the Armavir region. Four months of ageing in French oak barrels contributed to the wine’s velvety texture and complex structure, integrating soft fruit expression with refined oak influence.

Wine Description
A structured and expressive red blend showing a medium ruby colour and a fully developed aromatic profile. The nose reveals red cherry, red plum, cranberry, and violet, layered with black pepper, clove, cinnamon, and subtle dried fruit notes. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium-plus acidity, medium tannins, and a medium body. Flavours of red cherry, plum, and cranberry are supported by gentle spice and dried herb nuances, leading to a long, balanced, and persistent finish. Elegant and well-integrated, this wine reflects both freshness and depth.
