Cabernet & Merlot

Tikves Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet, Merlot

The Tikves Cabernet & Merlot is an extraordinary blend hailing from the renowned Tikves winegrowing region of North Macedonia. This red wine harmoniously brings together the robust structure and dark fruit intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon with the smooth, velvety texture of Merlot. It presents a full-bodied experience on the palate, highlighted by pronounced tannins that provide a well-structured framework and a bright acidity that lifts the flavors, making each sip wonderfully mouthwatering. Notes of ripe blackcurrant and plum dominate, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and an elegant oak influence, offering a delightful complexity. This wine is well-suited for pairing with a variety of hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more refined occasions. With its impeccable balance and captivating depth, Tikves Cabernet & Merlot proudly showcases the rich terroir of its origin.

North Macedonia

Much like its southern neighbor, Greece, North Macedonia boasts a long grape growing and winemaking history, not to mention a host of exciting grape varieties. North Macedonia is regaining some of its pre-Soviet era glory through increasingly impressive (and great value) wines. There are rounded, flavorful whites made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and the indigenous Žilavka, Temjanika and Smederevka grapes. But ultimately, this is red wine country, led by the bold Vranec and vibrant Stanušina varieties, which make complex, fruit-forward wines alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah.
