ZORAH KARASI RED WINE ARENI NOIR ARMENIA 2020

Composed of 100% Areni Noir this red was spontaneously fermented by native yeasts in unlined concrete vats. It was aged in traditional Armenian karasses (amphorae). The cool climate of the vineyards contributes to the freshness of the dark-plum fruit.

The king of Armenia’s grapes and possibly one of the oldest grape varieties in the world Areni has been present in Armenia for millennia. Never grafted and on its own roots, it is 100% indigenous to this land with a unique DNA profile that does not match any other. Elegant and fresh, thick skinned and extremely resistant to disease, through the ages Areni has adapted perfectly to the high altitudes and extreme temperatures variations of Vayots Dzor, its natural habitat.
