Zulal: Authentic Armenian Wines from Rare Indigenous Grapes

Zulal, meaning "pure" in Armenian, is a key player in Armenian winemaking. Founded in 2017 by second-generation winemaker Aimee Keushguerian, Zulal focuses on highlighting the purest expression of indigenous grape varieties, such as Areni and Voskehat. These grapes, grown in the Arpa Valley in Vayots Dzor, benefit from a unique terroir that combines high altitude, volcanic soil, and extreme climate, giving Zulal wines a distinctive character sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world.

Focus on Areni and Voskehat Grapes

The Areni grape, cultivated in the villages of Aghavnadzor and Rind, is known for producing elegant and complex wines, while the Voskehat grape, often called the "king of white grapes," is famed for its aromatic richness. In addition to these flagship varieties, Zulal is committed to reviving rare or forgotten grape varieties such as Koghbeni from Tavush or Sireni from Artsakh.

Rediscovering the Potential of Armenian Vineyards

Zulal is dedicated to rediscovering and promoting Armenia's rich wine heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Every wine reflects the unique character of the Armenian terroir, born from a winemaking tradition that respects both the environment and the country's ancient history.
