The Wine

This uniquely Croatian wine has aromas of cherry compote and candied blood orange, complimented with hints of ginger and cassis. On the palate, the wine exhibits soft tannins and fresh acidity followed by ripe red berry fruit, blood orange and undertones of tamarind.

Vintage

The 2022 grape harvest on the Pelješac Peninsula in Croatia was characterized by excellent, high-quality yields, with the region benefiting from favorable weather conditions that allowed the Plavac Mali grape to thrive. Despite two previous, more challenging years for vine protection, the 2022 season was generally considered to be excellent.

Vineyard

We grew our Plavac Mali (“little blue" in Croatian, referring to its small, bluish grapes) in the prestigious Pelješac appellation, a mountainous peninsula in the southern Dalmatian coastal wine- growing region just northwest of the historic walled city of Dubrovnik. This appellation contains many small, steep areas of vineyards perched high above the Adriatic Sea on the south-facing slopes of the peninsula. The winery is located in the tiny town of Trstenik, in the middle of the peninsula right on the Adriatic Sea, as depicted on the label.
