Tamjanika

Tamjanika, Temjanika or Tamyanka (Serbian: тамјаника, Macedonian: темјаника, Bulgarian: тамянка) is a type of grape, a variety of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, grown in Serbia, North Macedonia and Bulgaria.

It is named after tamjan ("frankincense"), due to the intense scent from the ripe grapes, which can be detected several metres away.

White Tamjanika (Serbian: тамјаника бела, romanized: Tamjanika bela) is used to produce white wines with an intensely fruity aroma and taste.

It has the characteristic Muscat notes of cinnamon, elder plant, basil, pineapple and strawberry.

In Serbia, White Tamjanika is the 16th most commercially planted grape variety.
