Wine aromas
A full bodied red wine made from the local Plavac Mali grape, a parent of Zinfandel. Red plum fruit, nuanced spice and oak are underpinned by a firm but ripe tannic structure. Vivid, robust and brimming with black cherry fruit, with a faint suggestion of nutmeg spice on the finish.

Wine aromas
The body is juicy and you really want to keep it on your palate as long as you can. There is a refreshing taste of mint and vague berries, and as it opens aromas of carob and even dark cholcoate are strongly penetrating. The taste is very concentrated with soft texture. At the end, a vave of heat undoubtedly states that this is an exclusive wine. Croatia in a bottle, you can see the Adriatic shimmering in the hot sun when you close your eyes. An excellent example of Plavac Mali!

No oak was used, only the best Plavac Mali fruit fermented and matured in large barrels. A traditional expression of this famous bold structured wine. Dingač has a clean, precise and fine real hit bouquet. At the same time the mineral, spicy and extremely fruity with a strong spicy addition. Plum jam in almost the trademark of Plavac Mali but there are also plenty of berries. Red and black currant in particular. Cloves, cinnamon, sweet spices, cedar, carob. Juicy, ripe and fine polished tannins combined with unusually high and very pleasant freshness, and ripe fruitiness, make it soft, gentle and pleasantly rough.

Wine aromas
The wine is softened to perfection, it doesn’t contain too much wood or smokiness, it has no rough sourness or piquancy while also not or growing or dissolving into jamminess or sweetness like many overripe samples. It stands firmly and lastingly on a clear, thin edge and it has a phenomenal aftertaste of berries and Plavac mali grape skin. On the nose it is reminiscent of a Portuguese red which our indigenous varieties obviously share a lot in common with. The alcohols didn’t run into liquority but rather, with measured power, they just support the rich structure
