Kratosija: A Timeless Treasure from Macedonia

Kratosija, a grape variety with a breathtaking history, is deeply rooted in the vineyards of Macedonia. Ever since antiquity, when wine was poured into amphorae and shipped to the nobility, this grape has captured the hearts of wine lovers. Although Kratosija once teetered on the brink of extinction, the dedication of passionate winemakers has brought it a glorious comeback. Today it shines as a top-quality variety.

With its ruby red colour and intense aromas of red berries, Kratosija offers a unique wine experience. Interestingly, this grape shares genetic similarities with the famous Primitivo (also known as Zinfandel) and Crljenak Kaštelanski, underlining its versatility and rich character.

Depending on the vintage, Kratosija can enchant you with its complexity and depth, or surprise you with its understated charm. Either way, this grape deserves the full attention of gourmets and adventurous wine lovers. Especially in the Tikveš region of Macedonia, where the climate and soil are perfectly attuned to its growth, Kratosija truly comes into its own.
