Serbia
Serbian wine has a long history, dating back to the Roman era, and has experienced a renaissance in recent years. The country has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, and a diverse range of soil types that are ideal for growing a variety of grape varieties.
Some of the most popular grape varieties grown in Serbia include Prokupac, Tamjanika, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Prokupac is an indigenous red grape variety that is grown throughout the country and produces wines with aromas of red fruits and spices. Tamjanika is a white grape variety that is grown in the west of Serbia and produces aromatic and floral wines with a refreshing acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon is an international grape variety that is grown throughout the country and produces rich, full-bodied wines with flavors of blackcurrant and blackberry.
Serbian wine production is centered in the Župa and Negotin wine regions, which are known for their high-quality wines. Župa is located in central Serbia and is known for its Prokupac wines, while Negotin is located in the northeast of the country and is known for its Tamjanika wines.
Serbian wine has been gaining recognition in recent years, with a number of local wineries winning awards at international wine competitions. The industry is still relatively small and mostly consists of small, family-run wineries, but there is a growing interest in Serbian wine both domestically and internationally.
