Presentation of Montenegrin wines at OIV Headquarters: a small area under vines but a big ambition

29 Sep 2015

This presentation was organised by the wine company Jul Plantaze and the National Wine Growers’ Association, and involved eleven wine-producing companies.

Montenegro produces high-quality wines from native grape varieties such as Vranac (red) and Krstac (white).

With the Plantaze company, the country possesses the largest wine estate in Europe with more than 2300 ha of vines and 17 million bottles produced per year, of which much is exported worldwide.

A Member of the OIV since 2007, one year after the country’s independence, Montenegro is carrying out a proactive policy of modernisation and promotion of the vine and wine sector, involving in particular the development of wine tourism, the upgrading of its vine and wine heritage and the promotion of its terroirs.
