Voskevaz

Voskevaz Winery creates unique high-quality wines, which combine winemaking traditions and innovations. Voskevaz winery is located in Aragatsotn region of Armenia in the village of the same name Voskevaz, which in Armenian means "golden bunch". The foothills area of the highest mountain in Armenia-Aragats, is amazingly beautiful and diverse, and its land keeps cultural layers of Armenian civilization previous periods. Just a couple of kilometers from the winery, on the edge of the picturesque gorge of river Kasakh, are located the V-VII century church and remains of karases (Armenian clay amphorae), that were dug into the ground, in which wine was aged.

The winery was established in 1932. Since then much has changed, however, the most important has remained - unique karases that are the production of the end of XIX century. This traditional tool for wine fermentation and aging was used on the territory of Armenia from ancient times, the earliest evidence of which are the remains of one of the oldest wineries in the world (about 6000 year-old), found in the caves of Areni, as well as partially preserved karas wine cellar in the ruins of the Urartian fortress Teishebaini (about 2500 year-old).

The renaissance of the winery began in 2004, after the founding of “Voskevaz Wine Cellar” LLC. The winery is equipped with the latest Italian facilities to produce high quality wine. Today Voskevaz produces wine using both traditional old karases and modern wine-making technology. However, all of them, without exception, reflect the true nature of Armenia. The wines are produced only from local grape varieties and for wine aging are used rare high-quality Armenian oak barrels. In the production of sweet wines in Armenia "Voskevaz Winery" has pioneered the use of wine withering technology.

Voskevaz wines were awarded Gold, Silver, Bronze medals at various prestigious local and international wine contests such as “LA Competition”, “WSWA”, “Mundus Vini Grand International Wine Award”, “SWA”, “Decanter World Wine Awards”,  “Concours Mondial de Bruxelles”,  “Catavinum World Wine & Spirits Competition” and “Black Sea Wines”.
