Plantaze Krstac (75cl, 13.5%)

A dry white wine from Montenegro made from 100% indigenous Krstac grapes, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced by Plantaže, whose vineyards span 2,320 hectares, it showcases a rare grape grown in the Podgorica region since ancient times. Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed in wooden barrels, then clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The nose offers ripe peaches, pears, floral acacia hints and a faint mineral undertone. The palate is crisp with green apple, peach, apricot, subtle walnut and invigorating acidity. The finish is medium length with a refreshing mineral edge and lingering stone fruit.
