Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Wine region of south-west Macedonia (Ohrid, Struga, Kičevo, UNESCO Lake Ohrid), temperate continental climate moderated by lakes and altitude, 13% of national production. Indigenous Vranec is the flagship red — powerful and warm with intense notes of blackberry, black cherry, wild strawberry, prune and a refined spiced-Balkan character, firm tannins and vibrant fruit (up to 17% vol). Smederevka is a lively, aromatic white king with citrus and a floral touch. Authentic lacustrine Ohrid identity.
