Zorah originated from the visionary mind of Zorik Gharibian, an Armenian who pursued his education in Venice and Milan before embracing a successful career in the fashion industry. While his foundation was built on principles of tradition, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence, fate took an unexpected turn in the 2000s. Gharibian followed his passion for wine and decided to reconnect with the land of his ancestors. Amidst majestic, snow-capped mountains, at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level, he planted vineyards in the rustic village of Rind, located in the heart of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia’s premier grape-growing region. Here, he dedicated himself to crafting wines that embody his philosophy: contemporary yet deeply rooted in tradition. Zorah’s ungrafted vineyard, spanning 40 hectares, rests on rocky, limestone-rich soils. Carefully selected indigenous grape varieties, sourced from abandoned vineyards near a 13th-century monastery, preserve a unique connection to the past. The region is characterized by long, dry summers with bright sunlight and high daytime temperatures, which contrast with cool nights.
