Muscat Rakija

At our last tasting in Belgrade back in April, Dejan also brought some of his wines. Following the same tenants of zero additions in his spirits, the wines were remarkably elemental, stable and balanced. These would be quality standalone wines, but instead he takes four liters of this wine for one liter of Rakija. We taste a lot of Muscat from just about every country we work with in just about every style, from sparkling to Aszú. We’ve never had the fidelity of this grape shine through as a spirit like this before. Much like the Apricot, there isn’t the feeling of an aromatic yeast or extract, it’s not trying too hard to be Muscat, it’s just immediately and effortlessly is.
