After careful vineyard selection, the grapes are handpicked and crushed into 500kg open fermentation vats. The grapes are hand plunged to ensure the extraction of more gentle tannins and aged in French oak barrels with just a little addition of Slavonian oak spiciness. The French oak comes from the forest of Jupiles which has very soft, floral tones which enhances the herbal nature of the Plavac Mali rather than obscuring the fruit. The rich plum and raisin flavors are underpinned by dark chocolate and herbal notes much like its parent, Zinfandel. Minimal filtration and stabilization treatments were used to preserve the flavors and aromas of the wine. Natural sediment may form in the bottle.

Plavina is a variety with a typical Dalmatian character. Although with lower alcohols and softer tannins, but with a higher acidity which at the same time makes it extremely enjoyable. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months. Juicy cherry, plum, and dalmatian spices, ingested with minerals, end with a herbal and earthy note.

Black currant
On the nose, red currant and blueberry are elevated by eucalyptus notes. Aged in used and new barrique barrels to soften tannin and prepare this Merlot for some ageing. It is fruit forward but with herbal aftertaste. Harmonious and well rounded hearty and juicy red wine typical for warm climate Baranja.

Black currant
This wine has a lovely, deep ruby red color. It is clear and full-bodied. The bouquet opens slowly, and new notes appear with each passing moment, dominated at first with wild blackberry notes followed by blackcurrant, a hint of vanilla, smoke, and dust, ending with ground coffee and leather. The wine is dry, warm, soft, and fresh with soft, finely grained tannins. It is flavourful with prominent minerality and a powerful body. The wine is very well balanced and intense in flavor with a long finish. It is delicious and harmonious, with notes of blackcurrant in the aftertaste.

Cedar
Lots of sun and the specific soil of Baranja are responsible for this stylish mature wine. Before the bottling, the wine ages in oak barrels. The wine opens up through an attractive and complex intertwining aromas of black currant and plum jam, with notes of cedar and soft smoky tones. Full and rich in flavor, this wine uniquely interprets the famous variety, giving it its own, specific, Baranja note.

Well balanced start reveals a warm and full-bodied wine with a pleasant acidity. Dingač is dominated by chocolate and ripe fruit, and some nutty elements in the background. Rich in Mediterranean spices such as oregano, basil, and some mint. Full-bodied, rounded, silky tannins. The palate is dominated by plums, dark chocolate, carob and cookie aromas, followed by smoky scents of tobacco.
