ZARM RED WINE SEV ARENI VAYOTS DZOR ARMENIA NV 750ML

This limited quantity of red dry wine is made only on special years, from our selected
Aghavnadzor vineyard plot, 1400 m a.s.l. Vineyard aspect – South. Soil – limestone and
volcanic. Grapes are harvested in late autumn, before the first snow when they can no longer
be kept on the vines and noble rot has set in with some clusters.
Vinification: Semi-withered grapes (brix level 28-32%) are gently crushed. Fermentation, which takes
months, proceeds in two stages: first by introducing wild yeasts, then – by employing pure
yeast cultures for quality red fermentation, ensuring a successful fermentation finish.
Barrel aging: At least 2 years. During the first 4-6 months it is aged in new, later in 1-3 years old, 225 l
capacity barrels made of Armenian (Artsakh) oak wood.
