Alluria – Rosé Blend (Areni, Tozot, Milagh) / 2023
Vayots Dzor – Armenia 🇦🇲
Overview
A striking natural rosé crafted from a rare blend of indigenous Armenian grapes Areni, Tozot, and Milagh, using ancestral winemaking methods. This bottle truly stands apart from the typical rosé landscape, redefining expectations.
Aromas & Flavors
Complex layers of wild strawberries, biscuit, grain yeast, sorghum, and a faint herbal earthiness, all mingling with a savory depth that feels almost otherworldly.
Mouthfeel
Textured and multidimensional, with both freshness and an earthy, slightly oxidative richness. Balanced acidity keeps it lively, while the ancestral method adds a tactile, grainy edge.
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled trout, roasted root vegetables, or even grain-based dishes like farro salad. It also shines as a contemplative sip on its own.
Verdict
Among all rosés, this is truly singular, transcendent, complex, and unforgettable. Not just a wine, but an experience.
Did You Know?
Armenia is home to over 400 indigenous grape varieties, many of which are being rediscovered and revived by small, pioneering producers. Wines like this Alluria Rosé showcase both ancient tradition and bold innovation.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
This rosé felt like no other, a revelation. For me, it stands as one of the most memorable rosé tastings ever, transcending into another dimension.
