Squeezed into an enclave surrounded
by Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece, Macedonia is
hot and mountainous. The climate here is extremely favorable
to wine cultivation and its 35,000 ha/ 86,450 acres of wine
yards produce table grapes, red wine in a great quantity and
a little white.
Considerable quantities of wine
of both
colors are produced, the vast majority of which are consumed
locally. Macedonia has some good modern wine yards planted
with the most famous French grape varieties including the
local Vranac, the less well-known red Kratosija (often blended
with Vranac), as well as the white Zilavka. Viticulture in
Macedonia is as rich and varied in potential.
