The wine region of Dalmatian Coast
Croatia's Adriatic coast, native identity grapes in full revival. Signature Plavac Mali: powerful, sun-soaked reds with notes of candied blackberry, black plum, dried fig, garrigue, tobacco and spices, firm tannins and a warm palate — at its peak in Dingač and Postup (Pelješac). Also dense Babić. Ample, aromatic Pošip whites (pear, honey, fennel), lively Maraština, mineral Debit.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
