Discover the best wines made with Plavac mali as a single variety or as a blend of Povardarie.
Powerful and alcoholic reds with an inky colour, firm tannins and a dense palate, on intense aromas of blackberry, candied plum, fig, Mediterranean garrigue (bay, rosemary), spices and balsamic notes. Excellent ageing potential. Star of the Dalmatian appellations Dingač and Postup on the vertiginous slopes of the Pelješac peninsula, also in Hvar and Brač. Native Croatian variety, a natural offspring of Crljenak Kaštelanski (ancestor of Zinfandel) × Dobričić.
Largest wine region of North Macedonia (85% of production), central Vardar valley, Mediterranean-continental climate. Vranec is the signature red king: deep and fruity with blackberry, black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, leather and spices, fleshy tannins and sunny palate — national identity. Kratošija (Zinfandel relative) fleshy, local Stanušina finer. Smederevka crisp white, Žilavka broad, Temjanika floral and musky.
