WINE DESCRIPTION

Rizman Primus Plavac Mali, the inaugural creation of the Rizman Winery, stands as a testament to Croatia's winemaking heritage. Crafted from the renowned Plavac Mali grape, recognized as an offspring to Zinfandel or Primitivo, this wine embodies the rich terroir of Dalmatia's steep south-facing slopes in the Komarna winegrowing area. The organic vineyards, characterized by limestone-rich karst soil, contribute to the exceptional acidity and freshness of the wine, ensuring remarkable aging potential. Handpicked from the best plots, Primus undergoes a meticulous selection process, revealing the full character of Plavac Mali with a modern winemaking approach. Following fermentation in controlled conditions, the wine ages in new French and American oak barrique barrels for 12 months, culminating in a profound expression of concentrated fruitiness, freshness, and complexity. Released into the market after at least 6 months of post-barrique aging, Rizman Primus Plavac Mali captures the essence of Dalmatian viticulture in every sip.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Rizman Primus Plavac Mali offers an intense bouquet of blackberries, plums, and dark cherries with a hint of licorice and spices.On the palate, the wine is dense and concentrated, with a velvety texture and ripe tannins that carry through to a long finish. Rich and complex, this is an ideal expression of Plavac Mali.
