VOSKENI 2017 Sardarapati Reserve Areni Limited Edition Ararat Armenia
Voskeni Sardarapati Reserve | Areni Red Wine | Limited Release from Ararat Valley, Armenia
Origin: Sardarapat, Ararat Valley
Grape Variety: 100% Areni
Aging: 24 months in new Armenian/Caucasian oak barrels
Production: Limited release
Winery: Voskeni Winery
Tasting Notes:
Voskeni Sardarapati Reserve is a distinguished dry red wine made from 100% Areni, Armenia’s legendary indigenous grape. Deep ruby in color with a purple hue, this wine opens with vibrant aromas of ripe mulberry, cherry, and wild blackberry, supported by subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing graceful acidity, velvety tannins, and a long, elegant finish.
Aged for 24 months in new Armenian oak (also known as Caucasian oak), Sardarapati expresses beautifully integrated structure and fruit. The oak’s gentle influence enhances the wine’s character without overpowering it—allowing Areni’s natural floral and red fruit qualities to shine. Expect a sophisticated balance of texture and flavor, with layers that unfold sip after sip.
A Wine with Soul and Story:
Rising from the sacred soils of the Ararat Valley, Voskeni Sardarapati Reserve is more than a wine—it is a testament to heritage, hope, and the resilience of the Armenian spirit. It is crafted on the historic grounds of the Battle of Sardarabad (May 1918), a pivotal moment in Armenian history where independence was valiantly preserved. This very land, where the grapes for this wine are grown, is hallowed by courage and sacrifice.
Sardarapati Reserve is produced only in exceptional vintages, when Voskeni Winery selects the very best Areni grapes from their estate vineyards in Sardarapat. The result is a rare and expressive wine that connects past and present, land and legacy.
Winemaking Philosophy:
The use of Armenian/Caucasian oak plays a crucial role in shaping the wine’s identity. This oak type contributes structure through fine-grained tannins while preserving Areni’s signature aromas. Unlike French or American oak, Armenian oak imparts minimal lactones—resulting in less woodiness and more pure, expressive fruit. The extended barrel aging gives Sardarapati its refined texture and impressive aging potential.
About Voskeni Winery: A Legacy Reclaimed
Voskeni Winery is a family-owned estate located in Sardarapat, in the heart of Armenia’s Ararat Valley. The winery sits on land once owned by Smbat Mateossian, a Boston-based Armenian businessman who returned to his homeland in the 1920s to start a vineyard. His dream was halted by Soviet confiscation. Nearly a century later, in 2008, his descendants reclaimed the land and revived his vision.
Today, Voskeni Winery is a modern torchbearer of Armenia’s ancient 6,000-year winemaking tradition. With deep respect for their roots and relentless dedication to quality, the family produces elegant, terroir-driven wines that tell a powerful story of perseverance, culture, and pride.
