Intensive ruby red with purple nuances. Black is a very good representation of Plavac Mali variety. On the nose, You can find a lot of cherry and plum scents, as well as some Mediterranean spice such as thyme or oregano. On the palate, it is a full-bodied fruity red, with notes of Forrest-Fruit, and some nice vanilla aftertaste. It is well paired with various meat dishes, but also some traditional blue fish grilled dishes. Very long-lasting spicy finish.

Nature was more than kind to us: birthplaces of our wines offer outstanding conditions for viticulture, at the same time being one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We are obliged to give back through winemaking, constant learning, and searching for perfection.

Black is a wine made of 100% Plavac mali from the southern Dalmatia. It is a blend between our two vineyards of Sv. Roko Komarna and Sv.Lucia Dingač. It is also the second blend of these two reds. It is matured partially in big wooden vats, partially in concrete, and partially in barriques, and is usually released after 24 months.

Dark ruby in color, this wine offers a nose of pomegranate, milk chocolate and aniseed. It opens with vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors, quickly followed by lush tannins and notes of dark chocolate, anisette, crumbled sage and a touch of roasted yellow pepper. Bold acidity is a good match for the tannic structure. -M.D.
