Stara Kupaža 2022

The wild east of Serbian wine country—untamed, underrated, unforgettable.

Tucked in the far eastern corner of Serbia, near the borders of Romania and Bulgaria, the Timok region is one of the country's best-kept secrets. Rugged hills, sleepy villages, and a deep, unshaken rhythm of life set the stage for a wine scene that’s as raw as it is real.

This isn’t polished postcard wine country—it’s something better. The soils are iron-rich and volcanic, the summers are hot, and the vines are tough. Old indigenous varieties like Prokupac and Tamjanika thrive here, holding onto tradition while a new generation of winemakers leans all the way in—reviving forgotten plots, embracing natural methods, and letting the land speak loud and proud.

Wines from Timok tend to be bold but honest—grippy reds with rustic edges, aromatic whites that feel like sunshine in a glass. There’s tension, there’s beauty, and there’s a whole lot of soul.

If you’re looking for wines with story, place, and personality—Timok is your jam. It's a region with grit, grace, and a glass-half-full kind of heart.
