created with passion for perfectionAN ELEVATED WINE EXPERIENCE
3C H A T E A U K A M N I K
Grapes, juicy and full of life, All bathed in sun blaze, Touched by the breeze like a sweet airy kiss. We pick these little red and white marvels, Like marbles, Just to juggle them in the in the playgrounds, Among the vines.That’s our game, our passion, our best fun time.
Then we get serious, Like the old-school architects are,
And we build liquid worlds, made just of wine.
We collide traditions and science,To get powerful blasts of colors and tastes, To reach the ultimate and the best, To bring joy and delight in Wine glasses, Worldwide.(*)
CHATEAU KAMNIKWine Adventure

The Kamnik estate is located
in the River Vardar valley,
Skopje Wine Region, the eastern
entrance to the city of Skopje.
The current 16 hectares of
vineyards, and the winery
itself, stretch across hills with a
minimum height of 300 m above
sea level, with a southern slope
exposition. The surrounding
mountains enable excellent
microclimatic preconditions
for the vines. The mountain air
currents circulating in this area
reduce the summer evening
temperatures and keep the soil
warm in winter. The vines are
planted at a density of 5.500
plants per hectare, cultivated
with single Guyot pruning
system.
Here we cultivate new clonal
developments of the grape
varieties later used for creating
Kamnik world-class fine wines.

FOUNDATIONS
Started as a very personal fascination with the wine-
making art that the founder has always had, everything
else came as a completely natural nowadays expression
of the authentic Macedonian wine-making traditions.
From collecting wines from all over the globe, through
the first vines planted and their transformation into
vineyards, through the foundations of the modern
castle-like boutique winery, and the first barrels in it, to
the first wines bottled, and then many more travelling
around the world, some winning great awards, a team
of excellent people turned this vision into a wine-world
building quest called Kamnik Wines, our creations
combining past and future, now; keeping our story alive.
A REAL STORY ABOUT A JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD OF GRAPES, THE EXPLORATIONS IN THE VAST UNIVERSE OF POSSIBILITIES FOR CREATING ABUNDANT WINE TASTES, A WINE-WORLD BUILDING QUEST.
OUR PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE:WE WANT THE BEST, WE CHASE PERFECTION, AND WE DO IT WITH PASSION.

KAMNIK VINEYARDSTHE FACT THAT DIFFERENT CLONES OF SELECTED VARIETIES ARE PLANTED IN A SIGNLE VINEYARD IS WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE UNIQUE AND INTERESTING FOR THE VITICULTURE FANS.
It’s a swirl of grapes, colors and tastes.
Kamnik Vineyard Varieties
RED: Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Syrah, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Merlot, Arinarnoa, Vranec.
WHITE: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer,
Moscato Giallo, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, Greco di Tufo, Viognier.
Kamnik Terroir
The cinnamonic soil is characterized by a good mechanical (clay and
stony) composition, which enables ideal preconditions for a balanced
growth and development of the vines. The rich mineral composition is
reflected in the authentic taste of the wines.
HOW WE GROOM OUR GRAPES
The grapes, created with special care and clonal selection, express
their fullest potential with remarkable aromas, elegance and
structure. All the main cultivation operations – pruning, tying,
defoliation and cluster thinning– are done by hand. The harvest is
also carried out entirely by hand, at different times for each section
and variety, in order to ensure that the grapes reach the cellar at
the optimal degree of maturation. This trend ensures the perfect
ripening of the grapes, avoiding arrest of maturation due to water
stress in plants.

HARVEST TIME
BEGINNING OF WINE
CREATION
We pay close attention and great care to
determine the best harvest time in terms of
the phenolic, aromatic and the enological
maturity of the grapes. These are important
aspects that result in optimal content of
sugars and aromatic compounds in the
grapes, and also into a qualitative and
quantitative evolution of the polyphenols in
the grape skin.
The ampelo-technical measures we apply
enable obtaining phenolically ripe wines
with intense ruby red color, high level of
extracts and extended ageing potential.
When it comes to the red varieties, we apply
double crop reduction which ensures partial
dehydration of the grapes on the vine.
We take only the best grapes, by hand, and we
celebrate that as a moment when the creation
of our wines starts again.

THE CELLARWINE ARCHITECTURE
VINIFICATION
The vinification starts immediately after the harvest
and it begins with the white varieties. The processes
of vinification take place in special inox tanks and
wooden vats. In order to achieve proper kinetics of the
fermentation, each tank and vat is separately controlled
and monitored for temperature, with data being
graphically displayed several times a day. When it comes
to the red grape varieties, the pneumatic punch down
system of the wooden vats enables exceptional color
extraction with extremely fine tannins, and preservation
of all the aromatic compounds. The premium red wines
are always aged in new French and American oak barrels,
which enhances their premium quality characteristics.
