Plantaze Vranac (75cl, 13.3%)

Plantaze Vranac is a full-bodied Montenegrin red wine made from the Vranac grape, bottled at 13.3% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It is produced by Plantaže in Podgorica, from the Ćemovsko polje vineyard, with grapes vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and spontaneous malolactic fermentation lasting eight to ten days, followed by two years of ageing in steel. The nose opens with concentrated small dark berries, blackberry and blueberry, ripe plum and a subtle violet floral note, with discreet dry spices and a light earthy undertone. The palate is immediately fruity, with blackberry and dark cherry, balanced acidity, moderate velvety tannins, plum and blueberry. The finish is moderately long, fruity-spicy and gently mineral, with soft tannins.
