Zorah Karasi Areni Noir 2023

Zorah Karasi Areni Noir 2023 is a distinctive Armenian red that beautifully bridges ancient winemaking tradition and modern precision. Made from 100% Areni Noir and matured in concrete amphorae inspired by the traditional karas clay vessels, it offers a uniquely elegant expression of Armenia’s heritage and terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear ruby-red colour, hinting at its purity and finesse. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of red berries, subtle spice, and a refined toasted note that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, with silky, ripe tannins and a graceful, supple texture. The wine combines richness and freshness in a way that feels both generous and restrained, and its structure suggests it can age gracefully over the next several years, developing even more nuance and complexity.

Production
This wine comes from Armenia, where Zorah has played a major role in reviving the country’s historic winemaking traditions through a contemporary, terroir-driven approach. The use of concrete amphorae echoes the ancient karas vessels long associated with Armenian wine culture, helping preserve freshness and express the character of Areni Noir with clarity and authenticity.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool at around 16–18°C. It pairs well with roasted lamb, grilled meats, duck, mushroom dishes, and richly seasoned Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine; decanting for 30–60 minutes may help the wine open up and reveal its full aromatic complexity.

Producer
Zorah is one of Armenia’s most celebrated modern producers, known for reintroducing the world to the country’s ancient winegrowing heritage. Founded with a deep respect for Armenian terroir and history, the estate has earned international attention for its thoughtful, high-quality wines and its role in placing Armenia back on the fine-wine map.
