Maraska Cherry Wine (75cl, 14%)

A sweet Croatian fruit wine from Zadar, Dalmatia, made from Marasca cherries and bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The Marasca cherry grows only in the microclimate around Zadar, giving the wine a terroir-driven character. Maraska is a historic producer based in Zadar, with centuries-long traditions in cherry cultivation and distillation. The wine is produced by fermenting cherry juice into a sweet, full-bodied fruit wine. The nose opens with concentrated ripe dark cherry, with hints of dark chocolate and light herbal mintiness. The palate brings rich, jammy cherry, balanced by tartness, with a soft vanilla undertone. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a slightly tangy edge and traces of vanilla and soft spice.
