Tamjanika or Temjanika is a type of grape, a variety of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, grown in Serbia and Macedonia. It is named after tamjan (frankincense), due to intense scent from ripe grapes, which can be sensed several meters away. Berries are small, green, yellow or pink, almost perfect balls. It ripens in September.

Tamjanika is used to produce white wines of intense fruit aroma and taste. It has characteristic Muscat notes of cinnamon, basil, pineaple and strawberry. Red Tamjanika is a rarity, but of exceptional quality.
