Wine styles


Macedonia produces all styles of wine - dry and sweet, still and sparkling, red, white and rosé. Well-known international varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as indigenous grapes like Vranec, are used to produce wines that are always uniquely Macedonian.

When experts are asked to describe the wine style nurtured by Macedonian winemakers from their specific terroir, the most frequent answer received is ‘fruit-forward style'. Macedonian wines are inviting, pleasant and delicate, with a flavour that lingers on the palate. They are a living proof of our winemakers' progress towards balance and a sense of moderation.


Macedonian wines abound in concentrated fruit and aroma. The wonderful climate of warm weather and sunny days, and the excellent harvest conditions, allow us year after year to have ripe and healthy grapes to make our wines from.
