Shofer Areni showcases the classic traits of this variety; deep notes of cherry and plum alongside some peppery spice. This wine pairs well with barbecue and stews.
From a century-old vineyard in the Armenian highlands comes Shofer’s thoughtfully made, approachable wines. The range includes varietal Voskehat and Areni, as well as a dry, medium-bodied rosé made from 100% Areni grapes. Shofer’s grapes are grown on old vines in volcanic soils, providing distinctive terroir.
Shofer is the Armenian word for “chauffeur,” an ode to Armenia’s drivers and the retro Lada car, a Soviet-era auto favored by cabbies across modern-day Armenia. Like the drivers who courier locals and tourists alike, Shofer’s winemakers aim to transport drinkers directly into Armenia’s dynamic landscape.
