Zorah Voski 2019 White

Voskéat in translation "Golden seed" is considered Queen of Armenia’s grapes.

Both ancient native grape varieties, Voskèak and Garandmak, have been present in Armenia for millennia. Both Varieties are present throughout Armenia’s territory but, the exceptional terroir of Vayotz Dzor, with its high altitudes and elevated daytime temperatures but cool nights, yield distinctively balanced fruit in this region and highlight the full potential of these grapes.

The pinnacle of high altitude viniculture ZORAH’s vineyards are at 1400mtrs / 4500ft asl. A Phylloxera free terroir with low vigour, sub-alkaline, sandy, soil rich in limestone and large stones. From 30/40 year old vines. All vines are on their own roots.

Fermentation in large temperature controlled concrete vats with no epoxy using only natural yeast. Aging continues in rough concrete vats for 11 months with further 6 months in bottle.

THE WINE IS FLORAL AND SPICY WITH RICH VIBRANT STONE FRUIT.
Fresh on the palate with vivid acidity and a layered complexity, with real depth.
