| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Croatias best known red varietal, Plavac Mali (Plah-vahts Mah-lee), is a relative of Zinfandel that thrives on the Peljesac Peninula. The Milos (Mee-loash) family has farmed and lived on their land near the village of Ston for over 500 years. Their vineyards are located on steep, rocky hillsides leading down to the Adriatic Sea. The winery is certified organic and transitioning to bio.dynamic. Fermentation (only the native yeasts are used) takes place in open-topped stainless steel to start and then finishes in large Slavonian oak barrels, never new. The wine is aged first in the large old barrels then in the bottle until its ready to be released. The 2019 Plavac has a very dark color. On the nose you find aromas of cherries, cranberries and plums with a hint of fine herbs and exotic spices. On the palate this elegant red offers flavors of dark fruits without a hint of jamminess. The dry finish is long and smooth. This would go well with lamb or beef dishes. |
