The Ezimit Vranec 2018, a youthful red wine hailing from North Macedonia, is a delightful introduction to the world of Macedonian wine. Crafted from the Vranec grape, it shares the deep color, high tannin content, and fruity flavors akin to Syrah/Shiraz. This dry red wine is vibrant and rich, showcasing the grape's characteristics. With a deep ruby appearance and an aroma of strawberry jam and wild berries, it offers a dry palate with medium acidity, high tannins, and a full body, concluding with a long finish. The taste profile presents notes of black fruits like blackberry and blueberry, alongside mild black pepper spice. This wine is the perfect companion for pork, lamb, strong cheese, and roast beef, best enjoyed at 16°C, making it an exciting addition to your wine repertoire, expanding your horizons with the flavors of North Macedonia.
