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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
