Yeraz

A natural field blend, much like colourful threads in a tapestry

The grapes for Zorah’s Yeraz, come from small vineyard parcels which encompass a vibrant mosaic of varying strains within the ancient Areni grape variety which have survived and evolved through the ages. These individual vines come together creating a multiplicity within this variety which cannot be seen as anything other than the whole of the vineyard.


TERRITORY

Extreme, high altitude viticulture, ancient ultra-centennial bush vineyards at 1600mtr/5250ft above sea level. A Phylloxera free terroir with a combination of volcanic, sedimentary and limestone soils with no irrigation.

VINIFICATION AND AGING

Fermentation takes place in rough, temperature controlled, concrete tanks using only natural yeast, while the aging is in traditional amphorae of varying sizes for almost 24 months with short passages in large untoasted cask to soften tannins. Further aging for 12 months in bottles.

03 TASTING NOTES
With a lovely ethereal nose and fine elegant pure lingering flavour
Yeraz is like a blend of cru Burgundy mixed with top Sangiovese in character but with its own distinctive hints of spice and crushed raspberry.
