CROATIA

When it comes to Croatian wine, the Plavina varietal is the star. It’s a resilient grape that can grow (and thrive) in rocky soils located by the Adriatic Sea! This wine is a beautiful expression of its authentic Dalmatian coast roots. It is medium-bodied, with opulent aromas and flavors of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and cherries. The mid-palate reveals a voluptuous note of chocolate and a hint of earthiness. The finish is lively, showcasing bright acidity, strong tannins, and a soft, yet lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Grilled flank steak served with blue cheese butter, sautéed pork tender loin, sausage with sauerkraut, or a hearty winter soup.
