Wine from Skopje

Nestled in the heart of the Balkans, the Skopje wine region of Macedonia boasts a rich tapestry of soil and climate, characterized by its warm Mediterranean influence and diverse terrains. With limestone and clay soils, this area nurtures indigenous grape varieties like Vranec and Kratosija, yielding bold reds and aromatic whites. The wines often feature notes of dark fruits, spice, and an earthy minerality. Traditional winemaking methods, including extended maceration and aging in oak, enhance the complexity, while local culinary traditions celebrate these unique offerings, elevating Skopje as a distinctive gem in the European wine landscape.
