Yacoubian-Hobbs Areni Dry - 750ml x 3

Let’s explore the Yacoubian-Hobbs Areni Dry wine. 🍷

• Vineyard Source: The grapes for this wine come from the village of Rind, where the Areni grape thrives in rich volcanic and limestone soils. These high-elevation sites benefit from cooler temperatures, and water is sourced from melting snow caps atop Mount Ararat. The wine expresses the unique characteristics of the ancient Areni variety, combining tradition with modern winemaking techniques.

• Varietal Composition:

  • 95% Areni: This indigenous Armenian grape adapts perfectly to the high-altitude, mountainous region of Vayots Dzor. The vines thrive on rocky, mineral-rich, volcanic soils. Areni produces fresh, elegant, structured wines with bright red fruit flavors and a characteristic black pepper spice.
  • 5% Tozot: A rare Armenian variety, Tozot has dense, conical bunches, medium-sized berries, and medium skin thickness. Its name translates to “dusty,” referring to the heavy bloom covering the berries. Tozot contributes crispness to the finished wine.

• Wine Profile:

  • Aromas: Elegant notes of morello cherry, strawberry, baking spices, and clove.
  • Palate: Bright flavors of pomegranate and white pepper, balanced by refreshing acidity and a clean finish.

• Pairing Suggestions: Try it with Urfa Kebab or Lahmajo.
