Ara e Dardhës 2022 - 13% vol - Mrizi i Zanave

A wine that captures the authentic soul of Albania through elegance, terroir, and passion.

Ara e Dardhës is more than a wine: it is a journey through the aromas and flavors of the Albanian countryside. Produced by the renowned Mrizi i Zanave winery in the lush region of Lezhë, this dry white wine is crafted from a refined blend of Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Blanc (30%), and Riesling (30%) — international grape varieties that find a distinctive new expression in Albania.

Its name, meaning “the pear orchard” in Albanian, reflects its deep connection to the land, rural traditions, and the richness of the surrounding nature.

The result is a fresh, creamy, and structured white wine, with a generous palate and a long, mature finish.

Its elegant bouquet reveals delicate floral notes, white fruit, and citrus, beautifully integrated into a harmonious aromatic profile. On the palate, it is rounded and fresh, offering balance, texture, and an enveloping character.

International Recognition

Ara e Dardhës received 88 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards, highlighting the growing recognition of Albanian wines on the international wine scene.

Perfect with fish, seafood, fresh cheeses, and white meats, it is also an excellent choice as a refined aperitif or for a special evening outdoors.
