The Aragatsotn province is one of the most dynamically developing wine regions in Armenia. The high altitude (often reaching 1000–1500 meters) ensures a sharp temperature difference between day and night. Because of this, the grapes accumulate many aromatic compounds. The region's volcanic soil, enriched with basalt, gives the beverages a unique structure. When choosing, consider these highlights:
The minerality driven by the volcanic soil makes Aragatsotn beverages particularly food-friendly. White Voskehat beverages pair perfectly with poultry, baked fish, and spicy cheeses. The reds beautifully accompany lamb stews, grilled meats, or hearty meat snacks.
What gives Aragatsotn wines their "volcanic" character?
The region's soil formed during volcanic eruptions, so it is rich in basalt, tuff, and limestone. This is reflected in the wine's taste as a specific minerality, often described as a "crushed stone" or light salt note on the finish.
Are these wines suitable for collecting?
Yes, especially the top-line beverages aged in oak barrels. They feature a solid structure and can become very valuable gifts for wine enthusiasts.
What style is the Voskehat grape?
Translated from Armenian, "Voskehat" means "Golden Berry." It yields full-bodied, floral, and highly aromatic white beverages, which can be compared to high-class Viognier or white Rhône Valley wine.
