Tvrdoš Metox 0,75L
Dry red wine | 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Vranac, 20% Merlot | Alc. 13% | 0,75L
Metoh is a wine that unites monastic heritage with a modern winemaking expression. Its name derives from the Greek word “μετόχι” (metóhi) — meaning shared estate or monastic property. Just like its name, the wine embodies harmony, blending the fruitiness of Merlot, the elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the distinctive character of Herzegovinian Vranac.
On the nose, it reveals layers of violet, blackberry, peach, and fresh plum. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, with soft tannins and a pronounced fruit fullness. An approachable and gastronomically versatile wine.
The grapes come from the Petropavlovsko Field in the heart of Herzegovina, while the wine is aged for 24 months in the old oak barrels of Tvrdoš Monastery, gaining additional roundness and depth.
Perfect pairing: pasta with tomato sauce, dishes with prosciutto, meat in mushroom sauce, Mediterranean-style vegetables such as zucchini and eggplant. For an authentic experience, enjoy it with veal under the bell — just as they do in Trebinje.

Tvrdoš
Wine that has endured through centuries. Carved in stone, matured in prayer.
Just four kilometers from Trebinje, perched on a rock above the Trebišnjica River, stands Tvrdoš Monastery — a silent and steadfast testament to Orthodoxy, spirituality, and wine.
Founded in the 13th century by King Milutin, on the foundations of an even older monastery from the 4th century, Tvrdoš is a place where wine is not merely a product – it is sacred.
For centuries, in its cellars carved into stone back in the 16th century, the famous Tvrdoš Red (Vranac) has been maturing in large oak barrels.
Today, this tradition lives on through wines born from over 160 hectares of vineyards in the Popovo and Trebinje fields. Žilavka, Vranac, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay grow in the rugged Herzegovinian soil — under scorching summers and mild winters, caressed by winds from both the sea and the mountains.
The winery operates three cellars: the old monastic cellar, a modern production facility built in 2006, and a barrel-aging cellar added in 2012.
Each year, up to 250,000 bottles are produced and exported to more than 15 countries, from the United States and China to Switzerland and New Zealand.
But numbers are not what make this winery exceptional.
It is the union of monastic devotion and enological precision, of tradition and modernity, of stone and fruit, silence and fullness.
Tvrdoš wines are more than a taste — they are a sense of place, and a living echo of another time.
