Macedonian Sauvignon Blanc is recognisable by its piercing herbaceous and grassy aroma. Sometimes it is blended with Semillon, as with the dry white wines of Bordeaux in France.
Sauvignon has much higher acidity than Chardonnay, and in Macedonia it is never oaked - this is not a variety suited to barrique ageing. It is best drunk young and fresh, and rarely has the capability of Riesling and Chardonnay to age.
A dry and refreshing white wine, Macedonian Sauvignon Blanc often has a pronounced taste of tropical fruits and white flowers.
It is most enjoyable chilled to 8°C with salads, shellfish and lighter fish dishes.
