Karmrahyut is an Armenian grape variety that produces fairly robust, distinctively floral red wines. Karmrahyut means "juicy red" in Armenian. It is rare; you rarely find a wine made from it.
If you ever come across a Karmrahyut wine, it undoubtedly comes from Armenia, as that's the only country where it's grown. In the past, Armenians used it primarily for fortified wines, but today, a few winemakers also use it to press regular red wine.
Karmrahyut is a cross between the Adisi grape, an ancient Armenian variety no longer cultivated, and a variety belonging to the Vitis Amurensis family. The latter is a family of Asian grapes generally unsuitable for pressing wine. Karmrahyut is, but perhaps this Asian influence is responsible for the wine's distinctive floral and spicy character.
