Description

Areni is the native variety, Karasi means 'from amphora', and Zorah is the winery. That bit out of the way, we can concentrate on describing this hardy, chunky, big Armenian red.

The wine sees ild yeast ferment in concrete, no oak here, then aged for 12 months in the Karas (amphora). Roasted meats, dark red fruit, some wildness, with plenty of tannin and power.

Truly a taste of wine history.

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.

Karasì, is a tribute to the 6100 year wine tradition of Armenia. Aged in traditional amphorae, hence its name, ‘from amphorae’ in Armenian, this wine embraces the living heritage of a country while at the same time it delves back into a long forgotten chapter in the ancient history of wine.
