This Plavac wine comes from selected southern exposed vineyards in Dingac and Postup. Grapes were picked a bit earlier from younger vines and therfore wine ia softer and more elegant with ligher freshness. Beautiful example of traditional Plavac with a modern touch of freshness. Rich, deep and earthy wine with softer tannins and amazing complexity. Typical plavac plum, fig and blueberry fruit with a touch of fish oil aroma.
