Zorah

Armenian indigenous grapes from Vayots Dzor's volcanic terroir.

Zorah produces wine in Vayots Dzor, Armenia's southernmost wine region, where volcanic soils and continental climate shape distinctive expressions of indigenous grapes. The winery's Karasì, made from Areni, demonstrates the variety's capacity for structure and depth in this terroir. Heritage Chilar, crafted from the local Chilar grape, offers another window into Armenia's viticultural identity. Both wines have been assessed by Decanter, reflecting the region's growing presence in international wine discourse. Vayots Dzor's high altitude and mineral-rich earth produce wines of notable character—neither the winery nor its grapes follow familiar templates. For those seeking authentic expressions of Armenian viticulture, Zorah's portfolio anchors itself in place and varietal specificity rather than international convention.
