Hay Pét Nat Areni Red Sparkling Wine Armenia

Overview

The Hay Pét Nat Areni Red Sparkling Wine is a vivid and refreshing natural sparkling wine from Gevorkian Winery, one of Armenia’s pioneering producers of modern pét nat. Made from the noble Areni grape, cultivated in the Vayots Dzor wine region—a protected geographical indication (PGI) area famous for its ancient vineyards—this wine captures Armenia’s winemaking heritage in a bold, effervescent style.

A brilliant red sparkling wine with lively bubbles, Hay Pét Nat Areni is a joyous expression of fruit, freshness, and tradition, created using the ancestral pétillant naturel method. It’s approachable, juicy, and endlessly drinkable—a bottle meant to be shared.

Winemaking & Style

• Region: Vayots Dzor, Armenia (Protected Geographical Indication)
• Producer: Gevorkian Winery (est. 2006)
• Grape Variety: 100% Areni (indigenous Armenian red grape)
• Alcohol: 11.5%
• Method: Pétillant Naturel (Ancestral Method) – fermentation starts in tanks or barrels and finishes in the bottle, producing natural effervescence without additives.

The ancestral method (pét nat) predates Champagne and has been revived by innovative winemakers worldwide. In Armenia, with its millennia-old winemaking culture, this technique produces sparkling wines that are both modern and deeply rooted in tradition.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Bright ruby-red with lively, fine bubbles.
• Nose: Fresh and floral with aromas of field flowers, wild roses, and violets, accented by raspberry and strawberry notes.
• Palate: Juicy, fruit-forward, and energetic. Bursting with red berries, raspberry compote, and ripe strawberries, lifted by refreshing acidity that keeps the wine vibrant and balanced.
• Texture: Smooth, with a medium body and lively sparkle that enhances its fruitiness.
• Finish: Long and playful, marked by a lingering raspberry aftertaste and delicate mineral undertones.

This Areni pét nat delivers the exquisite taste of fresh berries combined with natural effervescence, making it both fun and refined.
