Ariats collection from the Gevorkian Winery has been created to continue the noteworthy traditions developed by many generation of Armenian winemakers. The collection has been created using the Kakhani method, thus, the winemakers at Gevorkian Winery revived the ancient Armenian Kakhani tradition of producing noble wines from dried grapes. Khakhani is a tribute by Gevorkian Winery to the skills and patience of ancient Armenian winemakers who developed their own technology of late-harvest wines.

In Old Armenia, monastics were using a traditional ancient technology of winemaking, a distinguishing feature of which was aging in clay amphoraes called KARAS. Brewing in Karases causes the fermentation to take place in lower temperatures. The wine got subtler, more velvet and had a coherent aroma, which was so exquisite that the takarapets (cupbearers) who supplied wine to the royal cellars, bought tons of the beverage from the winemaking monks. “GEVORKIAN” AMPHORAE WINE COLLECTION is a line of wines made with ancient monastery technology. They are aged for six months in ancient karases which the winemakers obtain from abandoned vineyards.

The Gevorkian Winery collection of fruit wines includes pomegranate, apricot, blackberry, quince, cherry, strawberry and cornelian cherry wines. 365 wines reveal their true essence in the words of the outstanding French chansonnier Charles Aznavour, “The exquisite Armenian wines contain everything that can be felt but never verbalized…”
