The grape variety Voskehat

Voskehat, often referred to as the "queen" of Armenian grape varieties, is highly prized for its distinctive character and complexity. The aromatic profile is marked by vibrant notes of white peach, ripe apricot, wild flowers, and hints of fresh herbs, complemented by subtle nuances of honey, almond, and citrus zest. On the palate, Voskehat typically offers medium to full body, a lively acidity, and a sleek minerality that reflects the volcanic soils of Armenia’s high-altitude regions.

The primary growing areas for Voskehat are in the Vayots Dzor and Aragatsotn regions, where ancient vineyards benefit from a combination of intense sunlight, cool nighttime temperatures, and diverse soil compositions. Wines made from Voskehat range from crisp, youthful whites to more textured, barrel-aged styles with impressive aging potential.

Typical wine styles include dry, aromatic whites, as well as limited-edition sparkling and skin-contact “orange” wines. Thanks to its balance and nuanced flavors, Voskehat pairs well with grilled white fish, roasted poultry, fresh goat cheeses, Mediterranean salads, and even lightly spiced Asian dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for refined gastronomic experiences.
