Notes & Pairings
Zaria translates to ‘dawn,’ and in this case, represents the new dawn of an ancient wine culture. The whole process from grape to bottle is also strongly connected to the phases of the moon. Each barrel is bottled unfiltered separately and without any added sulfur. This is a true orange wine with all of the varietals growing side by side in the same vineyard, picked together, spending close to a month of the skins in large open topped oak vats, and co-fermented until dry. This is a wine devoted to harmony.
