Sev Areni or Areni Noire, is one of the most treasured indigenous Armenian grape varietals. Some of its grapevines that are as old as 120 years can still be found in Armenia. It is an indigenous Armenian varietal belonging to oriental eco-geographical group. Sev Areni can be found in almost all Armenian viticulture areas, but it is mainly spread in the western part of Vayots Dzor region, along the Arpa river bank. This old varietal originates from the same gorge where the oldest winery in the world (4100 B.C.) has been excavated, and archeo-genetic studies speak to its uninterrupted cultivation spanning thousands of years.
Founded in 2006, Gevorkian Winery is currently one of the leaders of the wine-making industry in Armenia.
