Armakas Aivalis Winery

Armakas by Aivali Estate is the bottle you open when you want the wine to speak before you do. It is the flagship of the estate, an iconic, limited-production red from extremely low-yield vineyards, named after the large stones, the armakades, that define the vineyard site. Its profile is deep and multilayered, with plum, black cherry, berry jam, tobacco, vanilla, pepper, cocoa, cedar, coffee, dried figs, and chocolate, while on the palate it is rich, explosive, and built for long evolution. It is the wine for powerful moments, for dishes with depth, and for people who love great, serious reds with intensity and architecture. If the Aivali style has one statement wine, this is probably it.
