An elegant Areni with red forest fruit, cherry, pepper, herbs, silky tannins and volcanic minerality.
Zulal Areni 2020 comes from high-altitude Vayots Dzor vineyards, where volcanic soils and dramatic diurnal shifts preserve freshness. Stainless-steel fermentation and Caucasian oak create a refined, distinctly Armenian red.
Why this wine matters
Areni is Armenia's signature red grape. Zulal's high-altitude interpretation favours perfume, finesse and freshness, offering a distinctive alternative to familiar Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo styles.
