Serbia makes wine, and this is what it grows.

Growers build the wines around Prokupac, filling out the blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling Italico and Chardonnay.

Vines root into alluvial, clay and limestone.

The climate is continental, running altitude-moderated.

The vineyards themselves read as elevated, hills and riverside.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine, plus two more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows particularly in brandy production.

The named areas within are Central Serbia and Vojvodina.

Pour them alongside grilled meats, spicy dishes, cheeses and mediterranean cuisine.

Serve at 15 to 18°C.

Keeps for 5 to 10 years.
