🌸 Aran 2022 Rosé – Armenia

Estate Bottled • Volcanic Terroir • Elegant & Refreshing Expression
Crafted in the Shadow of Mount Aragats

Overview & Story

The Aran 2022 Rosé is a fresh, elegant wine that pays homage to Armenia’s ancient winemaking heritage while capturing the vibrant spirit of modern Armenian viticulture. Produced by the Sarafian Family, stewards of both Aran Wines and the now-lost Sarafian Vineyards in Artsakh, this wine continues their legacy of preserving and celebrating indigenous Armenian grape varieties, even amid the immense challenges of war and displacement.

Origin & Terroir: From the Heart of Aragatsotn

The grapes for this rosé are sourced from the Aragatsotn region of northwest Armenia—a land of dramatic beauty and historical depth. Situated between the Aragats and Arteni mountains and lying at the base of Mount Aragats (13,500 ft, Armenia’s highest peak), Aragatsotn is renowned for its volcanic soils, high elevations, and extreme day-to-night temperature swings.

These unique conditions allow for:

• Slow, balanced ripening of grapes
• High natural acidity for freshness
• Enhanced aromatics and mineral character

This terroir produces wines that are not only refreshing but also deeply expressive of place—true “mountain rosés” with precision and lift.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Pale salmon pink, glistening in the glass
• Aromas: Elegant floral notes of rose petal and wildflowers, followed by fresh strawberry, grapefruit, and a hint of white peach
• Palate: Light-bodied and vibrant with crisp acidity. Bright citrus, red berry flavors, and a clean, mineral edge lead to a refreshing, mouthwatering finish.
• Texture: Silky, precise, and dry—never sweet, always balanced

This is a beautifully restrained rosé, ideal for those who prefer Provence-style finesse with a uniquely Armenian soul.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well-chilled (45–50°F / 7–10°C). Perfect for:

• Al fresco dining or summer picnics
• Grilled vegetables, herbed salads, or seafood
• Cheese boards with fresh goat cheese or feta
• Enjoying on its own—a wine that needs no pairing to shine

Why It Matters

This 2022 vintage represents more than just a seasonal rosé—it’s a symbol of continuation, crafted by a family whose vineyards were lost in the 2020 Artsakh war. With fruit now sourced from other exceptional Armenian regions like Aragatsotn, the Sarafian Family continues to tell their story through wine—elevating Armenian grapes and honoring heritage with every bottle.

In Summary

The Aran 2022 Rosé is a crisp, floral, and delicately vibrant expression of Armenia’s mountainous terroir. Grown in volcanic soils at the foot of Mount Aragats, this wine reflects the artistry and resilience of Armenia’s modern winemakers. Light, dry, and incredibly refreshing, it’s an essential addition to your spring and summer lineup—or any time you want to taste a place where history, beauty, and viticulture meet.

Cheers to heritage in bloom.
