The wines Tamuz Morava 2008 and Prokupac 2007 were at the exclusive stage due to their specific, extraordinary characteristics; Morava because it represented the new, domestic, organic sort of grape which does not require chemical treatment and Prokupac which was old Serbian cultivar, existing only in our country. The organizers imagined this event so that producers and their products were protagonists of exchanging ideas, experiences and opinions with the professionals in the field of wine production and the visitors of the Festival.
