It's full bodied white and a touch waxy. Nice citrus blend(lemon, lime, grapefruit,hint of underripe pineapple, grapefruit pit, white & yellow lilies, soft minerality and very high acidly. Clean, fresh and simple. Interesting wine from Macedonia just north of Greece & south of Kosovo.

Savory, lemon grass character of a Loire Sauv Blanc plus the weight, texture and floral character of a Northern Rhone white. Pretty interesting, especially for the price. Check it out.

My first Macedonian white. Crisp w some lemon-lime and interesting flavors of some stone fruit maybe some spice.

Great acidity, lemon flavors. Not a wow, but solid.

Apples, pears, and cumquats. Minerally, crisp and full. This is an excellent, non-traditional white. A wonderful value for a wonderful trip off the all too beaten path! I will look for it again!

Lovely tropical-lemon fragrance. High alcohol for a white at 14%. Apple skin flavor, bright acidity.
