For 140 years, since 1885, Tikveš has cared for vines, people, and the land across Macedonia’s most expressive vineyards. Today we raise a glass to Vranec, the bold red that captures our landscapes and our spirit and stands as the vinous emblem of the Balkan Peninsula. Vranec is the true voice of terroir, expressing Macedonia’s diverse valleys and high, stony slopes with clarity and character. It is versatile in style, from still to sparkling, fortified, white, rosé and deep red wines. It is a perfect partner for blends, whether with native Kratošija, Plavec or Stanušina, or with international varieties, creating authentic Balkan cuvées with global appeal. With its structure and depth, Vranec is made for aging, gaining even greater complexity over time. And with 12,800 hectares planted in Macedonia, it is ready for the world.
