At a Glance
Tamjanika (Serbian for frankincense wine) is an aromatic white wine varietal—botanically related to Muscat—and is considered the "Queen of Župa." This basic wine from Ivanović, vintage 2023, showcases the typical intense muscat aroma and fresh fruitiness of the varietal in an approachable bottling.

On the Palate
