Enoch is a small family craftsman distillery and winery, officially founded in 2022. The distillery, the vineyards and the technological facilities sit in the village of Pepelište, in central Macedonia, only two kilometres from the “Prijatelstvo” motorway near the city of Negotino. The region has many dry and sunny days; its terroir gives the grapes unique quality, sugar consistency and beautiful aromas.

Our family tradition of producing grape brandy goes back to the early 1970s. The knowledge, techniques and complete craftsmanship have been passed from the old generations to the new. Growing up on the vineyards, we were given the honour of continuing our family tradition of producing only the purest and finest rakija.

Our rakija is produced from a few old native grape varieties such as Vranec and R’kaciteli, and also from several newer varieties of high quality — Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Because we use only traditional old copper stills, the distilling process requires several techniques by which we remove the unwanted parts and keep only the pure heart of the alcohol. Afterwards the pure spirit is aged according to several recipes — among them a few old family secrets — which in the end give us a rakija with traditional and unique flavours, followed by aromas typical of our area and highly valued here in our region.

These old recipes draw their origin from our previous generations of artisans, who developed them over the years and gave very few of us the honour of inheriting the tradition, the recipes and the techniques that are so highly valued in our area.
