Aristokrat translates to “aristocrat”, a name that reflects refinement and balance — qualities that define this premium expression of Vranec from Popova Kula, one of North Macedonia’s respected producers. Vranec is the country’s signature red grape, known for deep colour, rich fruit and balanced structure, and Aristokrat is crafted to showcase the grape’s more elegant side.

In the glass, Popova Kula Vranec Aristokrat displays a deep ruby-red hue with aromas of blackberry, sour cherry and dark plum, enhanced by subtle spice and floral undertones. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with ripe fruit concentration, smooth tannins and a composed finish that’s both expressive and approachable. This style leans toward refined fruit expression rather than heavy extraction, making it versatile with food.

Vranec thrives in the warm, sun-rich vineyards of the Tikveš region and surrounding terroirs, where long ripening seasons amplify fruit intensity while retaining freshness. Aristokrat pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, roasted lamb, rich stews and aged cheeses, bringing out the wine’s depth without overpowering the meal.

Imported to Australia and stored locally, Popova Kula Vranec Aristokrat offers Australian drinkers a polished expression of Macedonian red wine that balances tradition, structure and regional character.
