Voskevaz Winery

History of the winery

Voskevaz Winery is located in the Aragatsotn region of Armenia, in the village of the same name, Voskevaz, which translates from Armenian as "golden bunch". The foothills of Armenia's highest mountain, Aragats, are remarkably beautiful and varied, and its soil holds the cultural layers of ancient Armenian civilization. Just a couple of kilometers from the winery, on the edge of the picturesque Kasagh River gorge, are the remains of the "Badali Zham" church, built in the 5th–7th centuries. Nearby, parts of karases (Armenian clay amphorae) were found — vessels that were buried in the ground and used for aging wine. The Voskevaz wine factory was founded in 1932. Despite all its modern innovations, it has carefully preserved much of its authentic character, including the buildings. Today the winery looks like a genuine medieval castle.

Wines

All our wines, without exception, reflect the true nature of Armenia. The wines are made only from local grape varieties, and rare high-quality Armenian oak barrels are used for aging. In the production of sweet wines in Armenia, Voskevaz Winery pioneered the use of the appassimento technique. Voskevaz wines have received many medals at various prestigious local and international wine competitions, such as "Mundus Vini", "Decanter World Wine Awards", "Sommelier Wine Awards" and others. Constantly improving and refining the quality of its products and expanding its range of drinks almost every year, our Voskevaz contributes to the world of wine.
