The Story of Jamshid Wine
In Persian mythology, the Cup of Jamshid is said to contain the elixir of immortality.According to an ancient Persian legend, the history of wine began almost 7000 years ago with a beautiful princess who lost favor with the mythological King Jamshid.
Overwhelmed with pain and sorrow the princess tried to poison herself by drinking juice from a jar filled with spoiled grapes. After experiencing the juice’s intoxicating effects, she fell asleep. The next morning the princess awoke, and she discovered she no longer felt depressed but rejuvenated instead.
Thereafter, King Jamshid shared this wonderful finding with his entire court and decreed that all grapes grown in Persepolis would be devoted to wine making.
Dr. Jamshid Maddahi continues this rich Persian wine-making tradition using hand cultivated, organic grapes that are grown on the family estate hillside in a superlative climate and terroir with the help of viniculture experts.
Enjoy the full-bodied entry and long, layered finish. Our wines integrate silky tannins providing exquisite structure, and beautiful fruit forward freshness.
Cheers,
Jamshid Maddahi
