mid-September
Tamjanika is one of the ancient grapevine varieties, known for its distinctive aroma and flavor, which is how it got its name. The scent of ripe Tamjanika grapes can be detected several meters away. Ripening begins in mid-September, and mature berries are characterized by cracking skins. By mid-October, the fruit reaches full ripeness, revealing the complete taste and aroma of the variety. Interestingly, Tamjanika was reportedly a favorite wine of Josip Broz Tito. It represents a local clone of the globally renowned Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.
Tamjanika wine is yellow-green in color, with a pronounced muscat aroma and flavor. It is refreshing and easy to drink. The wine exhibits dominant muscat notes, from floral and fruity to perfumed, including citrus, herbs, mandarin, orange, and grapefruit. Hints of cinnamon and basil, along with frankincense and fruity tones of strawberry and pineapple, can also be detected.
The clusters of White Tamjanika are medium-sized, occasionally large, cylindrical or cylindro-conical, moderately compact or compact. Berries are medium-sized, round, 10–15 mm in diameter, with yellow-green skin covered in bloom and tiny white dots. The fruit is dark-purple when fully ripe. Sugar content in the juice ranges from 20 to 24%, with total acidity between 5 and 7 g/L. In the late stage of ripening, sugar levels can reach up to 30%.
Self-pollinating.
Moderately resistant to powdery mildew and downy mildew, and to grey rot except during prolonged autumn rains. During winter dormancy, buds can withstand temperatures down to -20 °C.
You can purchase seedlings of White Tamjanika grape at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
The depth of the pit is 40-50 cm, and the width is 30-40 cm.
First, a 5-6 cm layer of loose, fertile soil is placed at the bottom of the pit.
Cut the root of the vine seedling to 10 to 12 cm from the main stem (substrate).
Insert the vine seedling into the hole at an angle of 45°. The connection point of the coil should be 2-3 cm above the ground surface.
Once the seedling is placed in the hole, a layer of crumbly, fertile, and moderately moist soil is spread over the roots. The applied soil layer is then firmly pressed down.
The graft is supported by hand below the grafting point so that it does not move during pressing and compacting.

After the pressing and compacting of the soil is completed, the seedling is watered with 5 liters of water.
Then the remaining upper part of the hole is filled with a mixture of soil and organic fertilizer. The soil is first mixed with well-rotted manure, and then this mixture is poured into the hole and firmly compacted by pressing.
In autumn planting, apply finely crumbled soil over the planted seedling and form a mound so that only 1–2 cm of the branches remain exposed. The mound protects the seedling from freezing during the winter.
In spring planting, it is not necessary to form a mound.
