A structured Areni Reserve with black cherry, cassis, pomegranate, orange peel, spice and dark chocolate.
Zulal Areni Reserve 2020 is sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Aghavnadzor and Khachik. Hand-sorted fruit, stainless-steel fermentation and neutral French and Caucasian oak build depth without obscuring Areni's freshness.
Why this wine matters
This reserve comes from own-rooted Areni vines in one of the world's oldest wine regions. It demonstrates Armenia's potential for structured, age-worthy fine wine while retaining a clear indigenous identity.
