AZIZAM WINES
NATURAL WINE FROM DARLING GRAPES
Azizam Wines – founded in 2022 by Maryam Hariri, climate-change policymaker turned climate-adaptive winemaker – is a project of the soul. After 4 years of honing in on her craft at Bichi Wines in Baja, Maryam launched her own label to focus on climate-adaptive grapes and uniquely Mexican varietals, such as 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 ancient Persian heritage of winemaking with ancient production methods: hand destemming and fermentation in concrete tinajas and lagars, with only wild yeast and spontaneous fermentation.
WINES

Named in honor my great, great grandmother, a mythical matriarch, town midwife and mayor from Azerbaijan. She was generous, effervescent, and bold.
