The wine region of Metohija

Signature Vranac: powerful and structured with blackberry, black cherry, dried plum, spice, leather and balsamic hints, firm tannins. Spiced Cabernet Franc, light Pinot Noir and supple Gamay as complements. Tense Riesling as minority white.
The word of the wine: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
