Zorik Gharibian, an Armenian raised and educated in Italy between Venice and Milan, has decided to invest his heart and soul in his true passion: wine. This is how Zorah was born, in the land of his fathers, to create unique wines that tell of his modern ethos but with deep traditional roots. In a ‘special’ place surrounded by spectacular mountains, 1,400 metres above sea level and a stone’s throw from the oldest of ‘oenological’ sites, a 6,100 year old cellar, lies Zorah’s vineyard. It is located in the small rural village of Rind, in the heart of Yeghegnadzor, the Armenian region most suited to the production of wines that are both elegant and full-bodied. Zorik, together with his son Oshin who has recently joined him, with his Areni Noir vinified in amphorae (karas) and cement or in a large barrel amphora as the Yeraz (dedicated to his wife!) is to date the best interpreter of this ancient land of the East.
