This is what good wine from the Vranec grape tastes like

Vranec produces ink-red, robust wines with an aroma of jam and - typical of this grape - notes of coffee and leather. These are robust, mouth-filling wines with plenty of body and considerable tannin in the finish. It ages excellently.

Vranec may be completely unknown to us, but it is the public's favorite in the Western Balkans. In Montenegro - where it is called Vranac - Serbia and especially North Macedonia, it is poured widely. Usually as a single varietal, sometimes blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon into a typical Balkan blend.

Vranec is a qualitatively interesting grape with a lot of potential. Top wines can be made from it, and the most forward-thinking North Macedonian wineries are succeeding in doing so. Vranec is therefore slowly starting to break through into the international wine world.

Every now and then an article about Vranec appears in an international wine magazine. Innovative sommeliers like to experiment with this kind of unknown gem. Vranec wines are best compared to Argentinian Malbec or Californian Zinfandel.

We currently have six wines made from the Vranec grape in our range. You can view our Vranec wines here.
