Nuić Žilavka selekcija 2018

Vineyards Nuic are located in the southwestern part of Herzegovina, in village Crnopod, settled between Međugorje and Ljubuški, where cultivation of indigenous varieties Žilavka and Blatina is common. Vineyards are laying on the area of 35 hectares, perfect for the cultivation of grapevine, thanks to Rocky red soil karst and terra rossa, the altitude of 140 meters, southwestern exposure and mild winter and sunny summers. ‘Vinogradi Nuić’ philosophy is based on two essential beliefs. The first one is; the production of high-quality grapes, which respects the complex ecosystem and represent ideal habitat for natural farming practices. And second: achieving superior quality wines with proven methods using modern technology
