Takar Red Dry 2018
Made from the ancient Areni grape, from the highlands of the Vayots Dzor region, hand-harvested and selected again in the winery, only the best grapes become Takar Areni. Aged in oak barrels, this wine offers the perfect balance of freshness and structure with a beautiful cherry red colour with a purple hint. The nose evokes pleasant spiciness of vanilla and liquorice with overtones of pepper and clove, with cherry and blackberry in the background. The palate is precise with good tannins and nice structure.
