The Entry Pair

One light white, one soft red. The two easiest doors into Macedonian wine, boxed as a first order.

Smederevka is the everyday white of the region, fresh, made to be poured cold. Kratošija is the old local red, on the softer side, the bottle for a weeknight table.

If you have never bought Macedonian wine, start here. Two names you do not know yet, at the gentlest end of the range.
