Abstract
Tikvesh wine region is located in the centre of the Republic of Macedonia and it’s one of the most important wine regions in this country. The wine production in this region dates back from the 4th century BC, and today it covers around 13,000 ha of vineyards which represents one- third of the total grape production in Republic of Macedonia. From the various locations that are part of this region, our focus and interest was on the three localities: Kavadarci, Negotino and Demir Kapija. This research was made on the white wine varieties Italian and Rhine Riesling which today are increasingly spreading on the territory of Republic of Macedonia. Several parameters were examined including: dynamics of maturation, yield, the mechanical composition of the grapes, the chemical composition of must. The purpose of this research is to determine the technological and production potential of these varieties and to determine which of these localities gives the most suitable results for the further spread, both in the Tikvesh region and beyond.
