The Serbian winery Temet is located in Lozovik, in the beautiful hilly landscape between Sumadija and Pomoravlje. The company follows a philosophy of modern traditionalism in the cellar and cultivates its vineyards organically. The estate covers approximately 38 hectares of vineyards, distributed in 19 plots.

Ergo red wine is a blend of mainly Merlot with the addition of Prokupac and Cabernet Sauvignon in equal parts. The grapes are sourced from vineyards located between 270 and 300 meters with different exposures and types of soil. The vinification takes place at controlled temperatures, separately for each type of grape. The wines mature in oak for 18-20 months before blending and bottling, and then for another year in the bottle before being released for sale.

It is red with an intense and dense color , and with a broad and complex aromatic profile. On the nose it shows fragrant notes of dark fruits (plum, blackberry, and blueberry), violets and licorice, and hints of chocolate and coffee in the background. On the palate, it is deep and concentrated, powerful and well-structured. It is elegant and well-balanced with grainy tannins and a long and fruity finish. It is the ideal wine with red meat stews.
