*Vintage may vary by location*

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.

The fermentation of the grapes has been done with naturals yeast but at a controlled temperature which help to keep much of the wine’s variety character and fruitness. After the fermentation the wine has been aging for 15 months in special oak barrels imported from France. The wine received a pleasant oak aroma from the barrels. The process has continued for two years in 0,75L bottles, where the aromas married and harmonized and flavor softened. The wine Plavac Mali has an alcohol content between 14 – 15,5 Vol.% and about 5 – 5,5 g of acid per litre. It is with gentle tannins and pleasant blackberry and Dalmatian flowers aromas.
