As a grape variety originally from Germany, the Riesling is highly resistant to the harsh environmental conditions of German winters, but in the much milder Macedonian climate it provides material for wines that are much softer and less acidic than German Riesling.
Macedonian winemakers avoided it for a long time because of the low yields but nowadays much better and more productive clones are planted and Riesling can be found throughout Macedonia's wine districts.
An aristocrat among white varieties, Macedonian Riesling is characterised by its harmony. A fine aroma of lemon, citrus and grapefruit typically precedes a palate that is dry to off-dry, with refreshing acidity.
Riesling is delicious served cool with white meats and fish.
