Producer Information

The wine made by Voskevaz was famous as early as in 1930s. In fact, dating back to 1932, Voskevaz is the oldest operating winery in Armenia. In 1940s, Voskevaz earned a reputation for its fortified wines and gained the fame of the best winery of Armenia successfully producing some of the history making wines for several decades. However, the winery fell into disrepair in the 1990’s when Armenia was rebuilding its country after gaining independence. The winery’s new life began in 2004, when David Hovhannisyan, an Armenian entrepreneur who returned to his homeland after years of living in Russia, invested heavily into Voskevaz with an ultimate goal of reviving and renewing its old glory. To help in this mission his brothers Gago and Armen also left their secure lives in the United States and Russia. Thus, the whole family returned to Armenia to support David in rebuilding the winery. Voskevaz is located in the region of Aragotsotn, at the foothills of the picturesque Aragats, the highest mountain in Armenia (4,090m). “Voskevaz” translates as “golden bunch”. The winery actually shares the same name with its native village. Grapes have been grown on this site for centuries. In fact, parts of ancient karases – clay amphorae used in winemaking, were discovered nearby. These were found at the ruins of a 7th century church, just next to the winery.
