AZIZAM WINES

climate-adaptive grapes. family farms. ancient methods.

(ah-zee-zahm)

Azizam (‘darling’ in Farsi) Wines – founded in 2022 by Maryam Hariri, climate-change policymaker turned climate-adaptive winemaker – is a project of the soul.

After honing her craft at the premier natural winery in Mexico, Maryam launched her own label to focus on climate-adaptive and uniquely Mexican grape varietals (e.g. Mission, Rosa Del Peru and Palomino) sourced from old vines, lost ranches and small-scale, sustainable farms.

Azizam’s energy stems from its authenticity, in vision and practice. Maryam brings together her Persian heritage of winemaking with ancient production methods: hand destemming and fermentation in concrete tinajas and lagars, with only wild yeast and spontaneous fermentation.
