Bura-Mrgudic 'Basina' Plavac Mali Croatia, 2021

Bura-Mrgudic 'Basina' Plavac Mali Croatia, 2021

Regular price $26.00

A testament to the traditions of Croatian winemaking, this Plavac Mali (a relative/precursor of zinfandel) is made with extreme care in a limited production of ca. 2000 bottles per year. Delicate tannins and purposeful acid provide a perfect stage for its notes of blueberry, plum, and white pepper. We would recommend pairing this wine with something just as tied to the Adriatic, a simple fried calamari, or a comforting ćevapi.

Tasting Notes: 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.
Enjoy it with stews, red meat roasts, wild fowl, venison, roasted lamb and potatoes with rosemary and Dalmatian herbs, cured meats, hard and aged cheeses, grilled steak meats, burgers, and grilled blue fish.
