2022 Zorah Voski Voskéat Garandmak Armenia

In the glass, it shows a pale gold color with light straw reflections. The nose presents stone fruit, citrus peel, and orchard fruit, alongside subtle floral notes and a light herbal edge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with balanced acidity, showing layers of pear, apricot, and citrus, supported by a slight mineral backbone. The texture is gently rounded, without heaviness, resulting in a clean, dry finish with lingering fruit and a faint savory note.

Zorah Wines was founded in 2000 by Zorik Gharibian, an Armenian-born entrepreneur who spent much of his career abroad before returning to Armenia with the goal of rebuilding a modern wine estate rooted in the country’s historical traditions. Rather than restoring an existing property, Gharibian started from the ground up, focusing on high-altitude vineyards and indigenous grape varieties. His work represents one of the early modern efforts to position Armenia as a serious fine wine producer on the international stage.
