Production of Noa Areni Rosé dry The grapes for Noa Areni Rosé dry come from selected vineyards in Vayots Dzor, one of Armenia’s most impressive winegrowing regions. The area lies at higher altitude, characterized by poor soils, stony terraces, and an impressive mountain landscape. Hot summer days alternate with significantly cooler nights; this large temperature difference intensifies the development of aromas and promotes a taut, invigorating acid structure. The soils consist of volcanic rock, limestone, and stony gravel layers. This composition gives the wine its mineral depth and the fine salty pull on the finish. The vines root deep into the subsoil, thus producing concentrated, aromatically dense grapes. Yields are deliberately kept low so that each berry expresses maximum intensity and precision. The Areni grapes are harvested selectively by hand. Only fully ripe, aromatically expressive grapes make it into the cellar. Rapid processing after harvest preserves the freshness and the radiant rosé hue. For the rosé style, a gentle pressing with a short contact time between juice and berry skins is used, which creates the delicate color and the refined berry aromas. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the varietal fruit aromas of the Areni grape. Aging on the fine lees for several weeks or months lends the wine additional creaminess and complexity without masking the clarity of the fruit. The avoidance of intensive use of wood preserves the pure, unadulterated character of the grape variety and emphasizes the freshness. The winemaker’s style focuses on precision, fidelity to origin, and balance. The fruit takes center stage but never appears overloaded. Fine structure, clear lines, and an elegant length shape the character. In this way, a modern rosé from an ancient grape variety is created, one that combines tradition and contemporary winemaking and expresses Armenia’s uniqueness impressively in the glass.
