NIKO Wines was founded by Niko in June 2020. He worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years as a professional sommelier which took him across the world to a number of fine dining restaurants, 5* hotels, wine bars and cruise ships. It was during this time that Niko developed a taste and nose for amazing wine.
After moving to the U.K. from Serbia in 2019, he noticed that there was a severe lack of representation from his home nation and the Balkan area and he sought to rectify that.
NIKO Wines aims to bring to the UK the best wines from the best wineries throughout the Balkans.
Our selection process includes visiting the vineyards, tasting and hand selecting the wines so we can guarantee the best quality and the best price.

Typical for 19th century Bordeaux wines, blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (which is quite specific for Rhone Valley), proof once again it’s full exuberance.

Ageing in oak, not only gives one more aromatic layer to wine complexity, but have quite positive influence on its overall balance.
