North Macedonia
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.
