Some of the Voskeat vines in Armenia are more than 150 years old and still bear fruit. According to the number of archaeological excavations in Taishabaina (Karmir Blur), the cultivation of Voskehat started more than 3-5 thousand years ago. During those excavations, the analysis of the antiquated seeds proved they belonged to Voskehat. According to one of the legends Voskehat was as valuable as gold, and paid a tribute with it: here comes another name of it “Kharji”, that is a tribute. Voskehat is widely expended in Ashtarak, Echmiatsin and Armavir. It is also cultivated in other winemaking regions of Armenia.
