VITICULTURE:
The grapes are of the autochthonous white Pošip variety and of the most famous international white variety, Chardonnay. They are sourced from our own organic vineyards in the Komarna winegrowing area.The vineyards are located on south-facing slopes with an incline of up to 30%, at an altitude between 50 and 250 metres. The earth is karst-like and consists of limestone with a small content of soil. The yield of wine per hectare is quite small and amounts to 18 to 27 hectolitres, which results in concentrated fruitiness and freshness. Irrigation is performed only in case of exceptional drought.
WINEMAKING AND AGEING:
Processing and vinification begin with the selection of grapes at our winery after they have been picked by hand. The grapes for this wine are sourced from a special location that is called Smrćevica. The owners perform this selection personally to make sure that only the best grapes are sent for further processing. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation in barrique barrels under controlled conditions. After fermentation is complete, the wine is aged on lees (sur lie) for 6 to 8 months more in barrique barrels under professional supervision. After filling, it is aged for at least a few more months before it is released into the market.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine perfectly reflects the abundant sunshine and warm climate of the Dalmatian coast during the 2021 season. On the nose it is youthful,
attractive, and gently perfumed including notes of ripe yellow fruits, citrus peel and a hint of spice resulting from judicious barrel ageing. This is a style of Posip that will satisfy those who enjoy wines that are more structured, richer, and full body.
