Vrbanjka Cru

100% Blaufränkisch. Single Vineyard CRU. Rated 93+ (Robert Parker Wine Advocate)
Selected from the mid-slope of our Plešivica terroir, where
the marly soil is the stoniest and the shallowest giving depth, complexity and elegance to the wine. A real “Cru” and a true expression of what the best terroirs of the Bela Krajina region can offer.

Vrbanjka is our flagship wine, selected from the mid-slope of our Plešivica terroir, where the marly soil is the stoniest and the shallowest giving depth, complexity and elegance to the wine. A real “Cru” and a true expression of what the best terroirs of the Bela Krajina region can offer. Spicy notes of white pepper and cinnamon infused by fruity aromas reminiscent of blueberry and blackberry, as well as underlying hints of dried herbs. The palate is medium plus, deep and fresh at the same time with a very long finish. Tannins are firm, but the wine is already enjoyable. Elegance, complexity, power, finesse and freshness in the glass. It is a wine built for long aging.

Babic Pilizota Reserve

This wine comes from Primošten, Croatia, the location of one of the most beautiful vineyards in the world. So exceptionally stunning, they are being considered as a UNESCO World Heritage site! On the nose, it has its very unique and typical scents of barnyard, earthiness, laced with dark, warm fruit and spices. The palate gives us layers and layers of complexity. At first, warm, sweet spices, followed by deep, dark fruit, plums, figs, tobacco and dried herbs. A wine that is sure to change your wine world -- and at a very competitive price!

Bura Dingac Plavac MalI

Located on the steep 45 degree Southern slopes of Peljesac Peninsula known for its big reds, Bura vineyards produce the most unique, delicious and prestigious wine to ever come out of the Dalmatian Coast. As much as there is talk about all the different wineries and winemakers in Croatia, no other winemaker stands out more than Niko Bura and his sacred Bura Dingač. Niko Bura’s vineyards are fully organic and are the truest expression of the microclimate and land of Croatia’s southern Dalmatian coast. The Bura family has a one of the longest traditions of winemaking in Dingač, spanning over five generations. Typical bottle production of Bura Dingač is very limited (between 1,400 to 2,500 bottles, depending upon the year) and that is why every bottle opening should be treated as a special occasion. Made from slightly raisined grapes and vinified in native yeasts, Bura is a masculine wine of high extract and up to 15% alcohol, with intense black fruit on the nose, along with pine and a note of dry hay.

Bura Galeria Dalmatia

Farming: Organic. No irrigation, spraying is done only in April, with only powdered sulfites, and copper in “off” vintages

Vinification: All grapes are strictly hand-harvested and then de-stemmed. Fermented separately in open vats with manual punchdowns with strictly only native yeasts, with 8 days of skin maceration. Aged for 3 months in stainless steel (inox) tanks, with an additional 4 months in used 225- liter oak barrels, with a coarse filtration after that.

Tasting Notes: Normally a robust wine, this Plavac Mali is more elegant and restrained. With lower levels of alcohol, the Galeria offers aromas of plums, red currant and blackberry, which are then followed by herbaceous notes of fennel and thyme. Mouth-watering acidity, sweet tannins, thickened earthy fruitiness which lingers on the palate.

Ideal for a variety of dishes: soft cheeses, pršut (prosciutto), brick oven pizza, pašticada, pasta, veal and chicken roasts, grilled seafood or creamy mushroom risotto.

Kobal Blaufrankisch

Blaufränkisch is a special premium dark, ruby-colored wine with an aroma which resembles overripened blackberries, chocolate, black mulberries and dried plums. The harmony of fruity aromas is nicely rounded up with wood characteristics both in scent and in flavor, with a moderately long velvet finish. We recommend allowing the wine to decant for up to 45 minutes before consumption.

Pomalo Frankovka

Wild fermented Frankovka makes for a gluggable Slavonian red that’s perfect for grilling in the summertime! Fruity nose offering cherry, red apple, and nutmeg, followed by a crunchy pallet bursting with tart red cherry, red berries, and eastern spices, balanced with lively acidity, gentle tannins and easy drinkability. Tremendous summer red for doing all the red-wine summer things related to relaxing: bonfires, seaside grilling, evenings in the hammock – no pretension permitted!

Pomalo Freskavina

Graševina (aka Welschriesling) is the most widely planted white grape in Croatia, and most prominently grown in the Slavonia area near the border of Hungary. You can’t talk about Croatian whites, without talking about Graševina!

The whole point of Pomalo is to take it easy and not take things too seriously – like the name of this wine: Freškavina, loosely translated to “freshy wine”. Nothing too technical here. With the gentle expression of native yeast fermentations, Freškavina, exudes the floral aromatics and tropical fruit expression of Welschriesling, with a bright and crispy backbone that makes it super oh so refreshing. In a region famous for cured and smoked pork, pair with paprika cured meats (Kulen), fish paprikaš, vegetable stew, and crispy lard cracklings (čvarci).

Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco

"The Produttori’s 2019 Barbaresco is simply fabulous. A sweet bouquet melds into expressive fruit in a Barbaresco that is exceptionally polished and refined. The 2019 boasts striking sweetness and inner perfume to match its understated, elegant personality. Quite frankly, the 2019 is very hard to resist today, as the tannins are quite polished. Unusually sweet, silky and refined, the 2019 will take the better part of a decade to show the full breadth of its pedigree .... one of the very finest values in ageworthy wine from anywhere in the world. This is a magnificent showing from the Produttori and a great introduction to the 2019 harvest at this historic house
