Introduction:
The 2021 Pomalo Plavina is a natural red wine from Croatia's Dalmatian coast, crafted entirely from the indigenous Plavina grape. Embracing a minimal intervention philosophy, this wine offers a fresh and approachable expression of the region's winemaking heritage.

Terroir:
Sourced from inland vineyards near the historic town of Šibenik, the vines thrive in a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. The terrain consists of various vineyard locations on slopes or semi-slopes, at altitudes ranging from 50 to 300 meters above sea level. The soil is predominantly fertile red and brown topsoil with finer brown clay stones, over a rugged limestone foundation. These conditions contribute to the wine's balanced acidity and mineral undertones.

Finish:
A clean and refreshing finish, with lingering notes of red berries and a subtle mineral undertone.

Overall Impression:
