Kamnik Carménère is a varietal red wine produced by Kamnik Winery, a boutique producer based near Skopje that works with carefully selected Macedonian vineyards to craft expressive, terroir-driven wines. This wine showcases the well-known Carménère grape, originally from Bordeaux and now celebrated in select New World and Balkan regions for its deep colour, soft tannins and distinctive peppery spice.

In the glass it shows a rich ruby colour and opens with aromas of black pepper, paprika and ripe cherry, layered with hints of tobacco, dark chocolate and subtle herbaceous spice — hallmarks of a well-balanced Carménère. On the palate it’s full-bodied yet composed, with juicy dark fruit, soft tannins and a long, warming finish that balances fruit depth and structural integrity.

This wine pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb, grilled Mediterranean meats, rich stews and tomato-based dishes, where its spice elements and rounded fruit can complement hearty flavours. Serve lightly below room temperature to let the complexity unfold.

Imported to Australia and stored locally, Kamnik Carménère offers a compelling entry point into both the world of Carménère and the growing landscape of quality Macedonian red wines.
