Domano Žilavka Premium 2021

Žilavka, Blatina, but also Trnjak, and Vranac, all indigenous varieties associated with Herzegovina, are all grown in several vineyards in a location called Domanovići, along with plantings of internationally renowned Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Dedicated to expressing their winemaking heritage, Vina Domano started to rebuild the tradition of these parts back in 1996. Today, it’s a modern winery equipped with a cellar, knowledge, and a passion for making the finest wines. Still in the cellar, proudly displayed, stands officially the largest wood barrel in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a 16230 litres large oak barrel. Yet, together with many international recognitions, Vina Domano is probably most recognized for the making of the first sparkling wine made in Herzegovina. It was made under the Champenoise method from the Žilavka variety.
