Climate: The vineyards, located along the Vardar River in the Skopje wine region, extend over hills at a minimum of 300 m above sea level, with a southern slope. Surrounding mountains provide an excellent microclimate. Mountain air currents circulating in the area lower summer evening temperatures and keep the soil warm in winter. Vines are planted at a density of 5,500 plants per hectare and pruned using the Guyot method. Soil: The moderately fertile soil has good composition and a rich mineral content. Vinification: Pneumatic punch-down system provides exceptional color extraction with very fine tannins while preserving all aromatic compounds. Aging is carried out under strictly controlled temperature and humidity. 10 months in new French and American oak barrels.
