Pošip from Smokvica vineyards on Korčula island, kept on fine lees with battonage over 6 months and additionally aged in wooden barrels. It performs grapey and yeasty in the mouth, with some influence from ageing in wood and needs time in a glass to fully take shape. Structured for ageing in bottle.

This wine features a wonderful straw-yellow color with a golden sheen. It is crystal clear and full-bodied. The bouquet opens with notes of quince compote, followed by dry fern, star anise, vanilla, and herbs. This wine is dry, partly warm and soft while retaining a crisp freshness, mild tannins, excellent minerality, and full body. This is a wonderfully balanced wine with an intense flavor and a long finish. It is harmonious and flavourful with notes of butter, ripe peach, and bitter almond in the aftertaste.

A dry wine with deep, thick golden color. The aromatic profile is dominated by notes of vanilla and ripe pear, followed by notes of dried grass, dried almonds and apricots. The wine is partly warm and soft, with well-composed tannins and a medium body. Exceptional freshness, minerality and salinity give this wine an impressive character, fine quality, intensity and rich aftertaste. We recommend serving at 12 – 14 ° C with turkey with thin, dried flatbread, veal shank, veal breast roll, roasted imperial meat/ribs, fish with vegetables, pasta with truffles or semi-aged goat or sheep cheese.

Straw yellow color with golden reflections. Very complex on the nose, with pronounced ripe exotic aromas of pineapple, citrus fruits, and melon, with hints of butter, toasted hazelnuts, fine wood and vanilla opening in the background. Rich and concentrated on the palate, creamy texture with ripe acids. The aftertaste is very long and harmonious. Due to the aromatic complexity and rich structure, it is an excellent match to a variety of dishes based on fish and crabs, white meat, game birds, veal, as well as half-aged cheese.

Indigenous Croatian variety Pošip is consider to be the white wine varieties with greatest potential. There is no tropical fruitiness like in regular Pošip 2013. At first, the smell is neutral, on the nose it reminds of the sea mixed with a touch of peach and apple. But, precisely in this discreet and primarily mineral flavor lies the very delicate core of the aged Pošip as a variety. In the mouth it shows that the taste is still developing.
