Although this winery is very young, the Gechev family has a rich centuries-old tradition of winemaking, and the first records of this family as one of the first settlers in the town of Kavadarci date back to as early as 1673.
Winery MG renewed the tradition of winemaking in 2017, and its first wine was a red wine made from the "Cabernet Sauvignon" variety. This wine won its first award, a bronze medal at the young wine competition in Kavadarci. This first and especially important award serves as a huge motivator for improving the winery.
In 2018, at the young wine competition, Winery MG won the prestigious "Grand Prix Platinum" award for a wine made from the "Merlot" variety. The winery also achieved great success with its exceptional white wines, particularly "Temjanika" and "Sauvignon Blanc."
In 2021, at the young wine competition, they stood out with two higher awards: a "Gold" award for their "Temjanika" wine, and a "Grand Gold," or big gold, for their "Sauvignon Blanc" wine. In 2022, at the young wine competition, wines from the "Temjanika," "Sauvignon Blanc," "Merlot," and "Cabernet Sauvignon" varieties won the "Gold" award, and this year, the best wine in the white wine competition was the only "Chardonnay."
Today, Winery MG produces 10 different varieties of red, white, and rosé wines: Merlot, Vranec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Temjanika, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Belan (Grenache Blanc), Rkaciteli, Stanushina, and Melnik. The total capacity of the winery is 10,000 liters.
The winery is located in a new facility with an area of 700 m², equipped with modern equipment. In addition to wines, Winery MG also offers brandy from 2020, which won a silver medal at the international spirits festival "Golden Čokanj" in Zenica, Serbia, in 2022.
Winery MG is an active member of the "VinoTek" winery association, as well as the wine museum of the town of Kavadarci, located in the heart of the city park. In this museum, visitors can taste wines from Kavadarci wineries and get a close look at the history of winemaking in Tikveš. The love for winemaking and the successes the winery has achieved are huge motivators for further improvement. Our goal is for Winery MG to become the leading boutique winery in the region.
Kristina says that all wine lovers who appreciate a glass of quality wine, made with much love, are welcome to visit the winery and hear firsthand the history of the centuries-old winemaking tradition in Tikveš.
