The name 6100 refers to the history of this very special wine production site, which is in the vicinity of Areni I, the oldest known production site in the world.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Areni Noir grape. Areni is the name of the village, the name of the site and also the name of the grape variety which is thought to be one of the most original and oldest grape varieties in the world. The topology of the growing site is a small plateau high up on a nearby hill, growing climate is very influenced by its high elevation (1300M), with ample sunlight but huge diurnal temperature difference during growing season and a very cool winter.
Taste Profile: This wine has plenty of cranberries, red fruits, bloody meatiness on the nose. It is light bodied, with elegance in spades. Cranberry, pomegranate red fruits combined with an iron like, metallic taste on the palate, lively acidity and a juicy finish with light but noticible level of tannins.
