Traminec is another unique Macedonian grape variety. An off-dry white wine, it's delicious by itself but also makes a wonderful accompaniment to desserts.
Typically an attractive golden-yellow in colour, sometimes with a pale violet tinge, Traminec is characterised by its pronounced aroma of mixed flowers, spices and fruit. The finest Macedonian examples have a complex and beguiling aroma that suggests lavender. Because of its intense aromas, Traminec is sometimes blended with Temjanika and Muscat Ottonel to make deliciously aromatic white wines.
Traminec grapes have high sugar levels that enable winemakers to extract a lot of flavour and make a full-bodied wine. Still, the aftertaste is always soft and lingering, and the acidity is less pronounced than with some other white grape varieties.
Its ideal serving temperature is 10-12°C.
