This wine showcases the Plavac Mali grape variety with exceptional focus and balance. The grapes thrive in optimal conditions with deep clay soils in Dalmatia. Hand-harvested grapes are swiftly transported to the winery, where they undergo meticulous selection and crushing. The fermentation process occurs in stainless steel tanks and small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barriques, enhancing its depth and complexity.
