Indigenous to Artsakh Sireni is a mid- ripening red grape variety which grows exclusively in the soft climate of this region.
The bunches are compact with very dark berries. It is resistant to summer drought but sensitive to cold winter temperatures. Ararati on the other hand, which takes its name from Armenia’s sacred Mountain Ararat, is an indigenous white grape variety and grows well in the highlands of Vayotz Dzor. It has large juicy greenish, yellow berries. It is late ripening and resistant to disease. Ararati has been largely ignored by locals and to this date no wines have been made from this variety.
A FULL BODIED WINE WITH GRIPPY TANNINS AND NOTES OF BLACK FRUITS POMEGRANATE AND LIQUORICE
