Introduction:
The 2022 Pomalo Debit is a crisp and refreshing white wine from Croatia's Dalmatian coast, crafted entirely from the indigenous Debit grape. Embracing a minimal intervention philosophy, this wine captures the essence of its coastal terroir, offering a delightful balance of fruit and salinity.
Terroir:
Sourced from inland vineyards near the historic town of Å ibenik, the vines thrive in a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. Situated at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from fertile red and brown topsoil over a rugged limestone foundation. The combination of warm daytime temperatures, cooler nights, and constant breezes contributes to the wine's balanced acidity and distinctive mineral notes.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with subtle greenish reflections, indicating freshness and vibrancy.
Nose:
Aromas of ripe yellow peaches, apricots, and plums intertwine with delicate notes of orange blossoms, offering a fragrant and inviting bouquet.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and crisp, the palate reveals a harmonious blend of stone fruit flavors complemented by a balanced acidity. The wine's texture is both smooth and refreshing, making it a delightful experience.
Finish:
The finish is refreshing and briny, reminiscent of fruity jellies soaked in seawater, with an herbal coastal Adriatic finish.
Overall Impression:
The 2022 Pomalo Debit exemplifies the potential of the Debit grape when cultivated in its native Dalmatian terroir. Its refreshing profile, combined with a touch of Adriatic salinity, makes it an excellent companion to seafood dishes such as mussels or oven-roasted mackerel with fresh herbs and lemon.
