Vinarija Dingac Peljesac (75cl, 12.5%)

Vinarija Dingac Peljesac is a Croatian red wine made from 100% Plavac Mali, produced by a cooperative founded in 1902 on the Peljesac peninsula. It shows a lighter, more approachable side of the grape. The vineyards benefit from triple insolation, with direct sunlight, reflected light from the Adriatic Sea and reflection from surrounding karst rock. The grapes grow on steep 45-degree slopes with minimal topsoil and roughly 2,800 hours of annual sunshine. The nose offers soft cherry pie and vanilla with gentle baking spice. The palate is light-bodied, with sour cherry, ripe plum, zippy acidity, hay, dried herbs and a slight green note, plus soft, furry tannins. The finish is moderate, with sour cherry and a faint chocolate note.
