History

A wonderful journey into the world of wine which began many years ago when Zorik visited Armenia for the very first time. He returned powerfully impressed by the beauty and spirit of his ancient homeland. As he began to spend more time there, travel among its people and uncover its secrets and traditions, he came to realize that Armenia had a deep rooted wine culture which seemed to have all but disappeared after years of Soviet rule.

A marvelous idea began to take shape and never one to follow tradition, Zorik changed his mind about buying a vineyard in Tuscany in favour of returning to his ancestral roots in Armenia. He decided to restore traditional vinicultural values with a modern approach and create truly profound wines which would speak of this magical place. It took a dream, time, determination and a team of motivated professionals to make it all come together and after almost ten years of intense work the winery produced its first vintage.

With boundless enthusiasm and unshakable faith Zorik continues to step beyond the dream and take the adventure further. His powerful vision, of creating unique wines of undiluted quality, has become an integral part of the wineries philosophy and with each new chapter of its story Zorah wishes to expose Armenia’s potential in creating wines which rival the best in the world.

Vineyards

Surrounded by dramatic snow-capped mountains, 1400 meters above sea level and only steps away from the most ancient of sites (a 6100 year old winery), the vineyards of Zorah are situated in the small rural village of Rind in the heart of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia’s quintessential grape growing region for wines of elegance.

The extraordinary micro-climate of the region combined with an exceptional terroir yield Zorah’s forty hectare vineyard with magnificently healthy fruit. Long dry summers, with remarkably vivid sunlight and high daytime temperatures contrast with cool nights encouraging a lengthy growing season and pushing harvest to the end of October. The rocky soils, rich in limestone, help maintain moisture for the vines during the intense summer heat while the slow ripening ensures the development of natural sugars which balance the fruit’s characteristic acidity.

Moreover, Zorah’s carefully selected indigenous vines, which derive from the abandoned vineyards of a nearby 13th century monastic complex and have remained pure and unchanged for hundreds of years, are grown on original ungrafted root. Unique geographic and climatic forces have allowed the highlands of Yeghegnadzor to remain one of the very few grape growing regions in the world where original rootstock have survived for centuries, unaffected by Phylloxera. Thus, Zorah’s authentic varietal purity from root to wine combined with high-density, low-yield plantation result in wines with pure rich flavours of outstanding quality.
