About the Wine
Constellation Cuvée represents IMAKO’s most deliberate expression of balance and selection, crafted from the finest vineyard parcels across the estate. Blending Vranec, North Macedonia’s flagship grape, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine reflects both regional identity and international structure. The 2019 vintage is designed for longevity, combining depth, polish, and harmony rather than sheer power.
Tasting Experience
Colour
Deep ruby red with excellent intensity.
Aroma & Palate
The bouquet is layered and expressive, revealing blueberries, blackberries, and sour cherries, followed by savoury notes of ground black pepper, coffee, and subtle hints of bay leaf and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and vibrant, well-integrated acidity. Dark fruit richness is balanced by spice and freshness, creating both immediate appeal and long-term potential.
Body
Full-bodied, firm, and composed.
Finish
Long and persistent, with dark fruit, spice, and gentle savoury complexity.
Why This Wine Matters
Vranec is often showcased for intensity alone; Constellation Cuvée demonstrates how it can contribute structure and depth within a refined blend. By pairing indigenous character with classic Bordeaux varieties, IMAKO delivers a wine that bridges tradition and modern expectations. For Singapore drinkers seeking a serious, age-worthy red beyond mainstream European regions, this cuvée offers both familiarity and discovery in equal measure.
