Vranac is a black-skinned variety native to mountainous Montenegro. It produces dense, deeply-coloured red wines with flavours and aromas which range from sour cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant to chocolate, mint and vanilla. Vranac's name translates roughly as 'strong black', giving a good indication of the wine's character.
