WINE DESCRIPTION
Zorah Voskì is produced using both ancient native grape varieties, Voskèak and Garandmak, that have been present in Armenia for millennia. These varieties are grown at high altitudes and elevated daytime temperatures but cool nights, yielding distinctively ripe fruit contrasted by racy acidity. The pinnacle of high altitude viniculture ZORAH’s vineyards are at 1400mtrs / 4500ft elevation. A phylloxera-free terroir with low vigour, sub-alkaline, sandy, soil rich in limestone and large stones hailing from 30 to 40 year own-rooted old vines.
In the winery, fermentation takes place in large temperature controlled concrete vats with no epoxy using only natural yeast. Following fermentation, aging continues in concrete vats for 11 months and a further 6 months in bottle yielding a wine that offers ripe fruits, honey, and subtle spices.
