Temjanika - The spice of life


Also known as Muscat de Frontignan, Temjanika has a pronounced smell of thyme, hence its name - ‘temjan' is the Macedonian word for ‘thyme'. The nose often suggests spicy aromas, too, as well as fresh grapes, apricot, dried plum or orange rind.

A dry to off-dry white wine, Temjanika has a striking green and yellow colour. The taste is full and long-lasting, with intense freshness.

Like Traminec, it is best served at 10-12°C and is excellent with desserts or even drunk by itself
