#187 Vranac

Here we have another red wine from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a Vranac from Winery Citluk.  This one comes from along the Neretva river south of Mostar.  "Vranec is considered the most important variety of grape in Montenegro and the one of the most important in the Republic of Macedonia."

There is a nice floral nose which gives way to a surprisingly dry wine.  It has a citrus-like acidity which fades slowly on the finish.  The bottle suggests pairing this with roast meats and smoked cheeses.  I suspect that would be very nice.
