Macedonia

Located in the northern part of Greece, Macedonia is renowned for its stunning landscapes and historic heritage. Notably, it has gained global recognition for its splendid wines, a vital part of Macedonia's identity and economy.

The diverse climatic conditions and terrains in Macedonia, ranging from mountainous regions to coastal landscapes, offer an ideal setting for vine cultivation. This region produces a wide array of both red and white wines, each bearing distinctive characteristics, flavour profiles and aromas.

Red wines from Macedonia are primarily produced from the Xinomavro grape. These wines are typically robust, full-bodied with marked acidity and complex tannins, boasting rich flavours of red fruit, tomato, olive and spices. They are known for their ageing potential, often compared to the great Nebbiolo wines from Italy.

The region also produces exceptional white wines, predominantly from the Malagousia grape. Native to Macedonia, this once nearly-extinct variety has experienced a glorious revival and now its fruity, aromatic whites are appreciated by wine enthusiasts worldwide.

One of the notable wine appellations in Macedonia is Naoussa, celebrated for its excellent red wines. Similarly, Amyndeon, although a cooler and higher altitude area, produces both superb rosés and reds from Xinomavro, thanks to its unique terroir.

Macedonia's wine production involves a harmonious combination of traditional and modern winemaking methods. Several wineries employ ancient techniques such as ageing in clay amphorae, whilst others utilise state-of-the-art technology.

Additionally, eco-friendly practices are gaining traction in the Macedonian wine industry, with a significant number of vineyards practicing organic and biodynamic farming. Their mission is not only to produce high-quality wines but also to nourish the land and preserve it for future generations.

Macedonian wines, with their exceptional quality and unique character, are increasingly making their presence felt on the international wine stage. They offer a quintessential taste of Greece's rich viticultural heritage, inviting wine lovers to discover their depth and diversity.
