Vinarija Dingač Postup (75cl, 14.6%)

A full-bodied Croatian red wine made from 100% Plavac Mali, produced by Vinarija Dingač on the Pelješac Peninsula. The Postup vineyard site received special classified status in 1967. The wine is fermented and matured exclusively in large neutral barrels, with no oak ageing. Postup grapes are typically harvested later than those from the neighbouring Dingač appellation, giving a more exotic and concentrated profile. The nose opens with scorched rocks, then dried fruit and reduced fig, with plum compote, tobacco leaf and a faint sea-breeze salinity. The palate is rich and concentrated, with dried dark fruit, dense plum and fig, subtle tobacco earthiness and powerful structure. The finish is medium-long, marked by salty minerality, with lingering dried fruit and warm stone.
