Heritage Chilar 2021 – Zorah Winery
6.600 rsd
Zorah Heritage Chilar 2021 is a dry orange wine from Armenia, made from 100% Chilar, fermented and aged in traditional amphorae, with aromas of pear, peach, and citrus and textural freshness.
Description
Zorah Heritage Chilar 2021 comes from the Vayots Dzor winegrowing region in Armenia, where Chilar grapes are hand-harvested from old vineyards at around 1,400–1,500 m above sea level. The wine is made from 100% Chilar and fermented with 60 days of skin maceration in traditional amphorae (karas), followed by 9 months of ageing in amphorae and 10 months in bottle. The aromatic profile includes pear, peach, and citrus notes, while on the palate it is layered, mineral, and elegant with a long, clean finish—an excellent example of the textural architecture of old Armenian varieties.
