Produced by Zorah, a winery that has rediscovered the ancient Armenian winemaking tradition. Vintage 2019. A wine that tells the story of a region and a thousand-year-old culture, through a blend of Arati and Sireni grapes. The grapes are fermented separately in traditional Armenian karasses, three-quarters buried in the ground. Aged for approximately two years in a mix of clay amphorae (karasses) and unlined concrete vats, followed by 12 months in bottle. On the palate, it is a full-bodied wine, with robust tannins and notes of berries, pomegranate, and licorice. A unique sensory experience that transports the taster on a journey through time.","brand":"Zorah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509684105387,"sku":"44974","price":72.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/zorah-heritage-sireni-2019_44974_1.jpg?v=1773710318"},{"product_id":"zorah-karasi-areni-noir-2021","title":"Zorah Karasi Areni Noir 2021","description":"The first company's wine, Karasi, is a tribute to Armenia's 6100-year wine tradition.
