The wine region of Orebić
Croatian wine region of the Dalmatian coast (Biokovo, hinterland of Makarska, steep karst limestone terroirs), medieval tradition. Native Plavac Mali as the signature powerful, tannic red — intense blackberry, black cherry, stewed plum, Mediterranean herbs and a refined spicy-saline note, naturally generous alcohol. Pošip and Maraština (Crljenak Kaštelanski) as lively whites with citrus and a marine touch. Preserved Dalmatian identity.
The word of the wine: Deposit
Solid particles that can naturally coat the bottom of a bottle of wine. It is rather a guarantee that the wine has not been mistreated: in fact, to avoid the natural deposit, rather violent processes of filtration or cold passage (- 7 or - 8 °C) are used in order to precipitate the tartar (the small white crystals that some people confuse with crystallized sugar: just taste to dissuade you from it)
