Balanced power of fruit and earth comes in liquid form combining ethereality (resin) and minerality (salt) in finish. Crljenak (Zinfandel) is rich in red and dark fruit aromas. Despite raw nutritional value and extraction, harmony is achieved, not a hint of heaviness or anything but authentic expression of variety and place.

Beautiful dark red color with typical slightly brown edge and a strong, striking and sumptuous bouquet, reminiscent of overripe fruits. Fresh aromas of ripe red berries with characteristic delicate notes of dried berries, melded with discreet nuances from aging in wooden barrels. Balanced body, harmonious and ripe tannins with a soft, elegant and warm finish.

A beautiful and elegant ruby-colored wine. Fruity aromas of young and red fruits. It smells intensely of ripe cherries, sweet cherries and red currants. The wine is young and drinkable, very lively and rich, with young tannins, high concentrations and pleasantly accentuated acids. Taste rich, full-bodied, firm in structure, with an abundance of cherry sweetness at the finish and some dark chocolate. After opening, the wine gets wonderful forest notes of sour black bitter oak, crumpled blueberry bush leaves and forest soil. It has a long duration, a perfect balance between maturity and freshness, an intense retro taste of cherry jam. With the potential for long-term ageing and in the coming years, the quality is likely to continue to grow. Wine of collector’s value.

Crljenak is soft and smooth wine with a distinct varietal flavor, which goes from discrete floral to strong fruit flavor. Its quality and character largely depend on the place of cultivation, the age of the vineyard, and the winemaking technology. The fruit is dark and deep, nearly leathery, in tune with some serious aroma sensations, while the tannins are tiny and build up only after a long time with the bottle. Good acids, somewhat salty like the sea, as a fresh shell and wind on a salty face.

This is an elegant wine with soft tannins, distinct fruitiness and balanced acidity. Tannins have become softer and flavor is more rounded as a result of maturation in barriques for 12 month’s. Barrique notes are elegantly incorporated and they further enrich the bouquet and taste.
