About the Wine
Voskehat is Armenia’s noble white grape, cultivated in a land where winemaking predates recorded history. In Vayots Dzor, one of the world’s highest-altitude and most ancient wine regions, this variety achieves remarkable clarity and balance. Zulal, a producer devoted to preserving Armenia’s indigenous grapes, approaches Voskehat as cultural inheritance rather than novelty. The 2022 vintage reflects altitude, restraint, and precision, offering Singapore drinkers a rare encounter with a grape and region that existed long before modern wine borders were defined.
Tasting Experience
Colour
Bright straw with pale golden highlights.
Aroma & Palate
Aromas of white peach, pear, citrus peel, and dried mountain herbs lead into a palate defined by crisp orchard fruit, subtle florals, gentle spice, and a faint mineral edge shaped by volcanic soils. Fresh acidity gives the wine focus and lift, while the texture remains poised and quietly expressive rather than overtly rich.
Body
Medium-bodied with a clean, linear structure.
Finish
Refreshing and persistent, finishing with citrus zest and a light saline-mineral note.
Why This Wine Matters
Voskehat is among the world’s truly ancient grape varieties, grown in Armenia for millennia yet rarely seen beyond its borders. In a Singapore market dominated by familiar international whites, this wine offers a genuine alternative—aromatic, structured, and deeply connected to place. Zulal Voskehat stands as a reference for how indigenous varieties can express terroir with honesty, balance, and modern relevance.
