#GARoon festival allows winemakers to work with new venues and experiment with new flavor combinations.
The perfect wine pairing is not only about matching taste and audience but also about creating the right mood.
Minas Wine
From the sun-kissed vineyards of Vayots Dzor, Minas Wine blends 50% Sireni and 50% Syrah into a deep, expressive red with notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, and currant.
Rich, structured, and unapologetically bold wine pairing to lamb signature dishes.
