[SOLD-OUT] Zorah Karasi Areni Noir 2017 1500mL-Magnum

SOMETHING NEW FROM 6000 YEARS AGO... USING AN ANCIENT VARIETY AND WAY OF MAKING WINE, ZORAH'S ARENI NOIR IS A SUPPLE AND FLAVOURSOME RED (AKIN TO PINOT NOIR OR GRENACHE). 

"If you are ready to discover the world of wine, then this is the wine to do it with! Areni Noir warrants comparison to a fuller-bodied Pinot Noir or even Grenache. There is ample fruit flavours here with raspberry, blackberry and plum. There is also a lovely backbone of spice, black pepper and earthiness. Generous and juicy, with structure. It is so fascinating to discover such a wine!" - Wine House

"The vineyards are at altitudes of 1400m. The cuttings of the vines come from ancient abandoned vineyards of a nearby 13th century monastery. The unique confluence of the environment - high altitudes, low-vigour soil, huge day/night temperature swings all contribute to the creation of a wine of tremendous character.

Temperature-controlled rough concrete vats in which the wines are fermented exclusively with indigenous yeast. The micro-oxygenation in the concrete is similar to that of the traditional clay amphorae ‘karas’ in which the wine is then aged for around twelve months.

The ‘karas’ used are of varying sizes. Some are buried in the ground while others are above ground, each giving their own unique nuances to the wine they contain." - Zorah
