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!

Wine aromas
It is made from a selection of berries harvested with the limited position of Dinagč vineyards. Dense shimmer ruby color with a smooth oily surface. The initial ripe fruit was replaced by the strong and concentrated smell of cherry, plum, and dried roses. The aromas of burnished wooden barrels became part of the whole, fused over time with a thick fruit extract and spices while the alcohol was hidden in fleshy, resinous aromas. At the palate, it is sweet, soft and supple cherry and cranberry juice. It is extremely soft with the constant presence of alcohol, fruit and a certain amount of sweetener, which is also the reason for the well-masked alcohol. The sweetness turns to serious dustiness and pleasant bitterness in an extra-long finish.

Wine aromas
Non-transparent, dark red in color. When you swirl the glass, wine slides down the sides revealing a thick, rich structure and fruity aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant and cherry blended with sweet and mature aromas of jam and prune. After a while a different herbal aroma of mint, black tea, mild pepper, fennel and coffee appears.
