MAGNUM
Plavac Mali Reserve is a wine with a dominant yet harmonious character. Well-rounded with tantalizing fruitiness, it offers a long, lingering finish punctuated with a pleasant bitterness.
SABION
This is our first sparkling wine. Produced using the classic champagne method, it derives its flavor from the beloved white Posip grape of Dalmatia. This brut is refreshing on hot summer days, great as an aperitif, and wonderful when paired with oysters.
RED
It is full-bodied and it has a recognizable varietal aromatic profile with the ripe flavors of dried and stewed fruit followed by Mediterranean herbs and spices.
WHITE
An enticing golden-greenish color in the glass draws attention to this Pošip wine. Refreshing and flavorful, it has a gentle bitterness in its finish.
ROSÉ
At once both strong and refreshing, this wine has good body and great versatility, making it an ideal match for a wide range of dishes. It is equally delightful as an aperitif.
