Overview & Heritage

The Karasì line carries forward an ancient wine-making tradition in Armenia, reflecting over 6,100 years of viticultural history. Crafted by Zorah Wines, this 2018 vintage revives the use of traditional karas (amphorae) and features grapes from ungrafted Areni Noir, cultivated at 1,400 m altitude on the steep slopes of Rind, Vayots Dzor—making it both a revival of ancient winemaking and a modern expression of terroir.


Grapes & Terroir

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Clear, pale ruby

  • Palate: Medium-bodied with supple tannins and vibrant acidity; notes of red fruit compote, gentle spice, chalk-mineral freshness, and subtle tobacco leaf

    A beautifully rustic yet refined red that is both elegant and expressive of Armenian soil.
