Winemaker’s notes
Tasting note
Intense ruby red with purple highlights. A direct, compact nose. The palate offers a generous, supple texture and silky tannins. Dark berries, blackcurrant and cherry dominate, joined by clove and subtle toasted notes. A long finish with juicy acidity. The combination of fruit and wood ageing gives the wine an added dimension that is rare on the Croatian wine scene. Grabar is vinified dry, with a harmonious, elegant body and balanced acidity and tannins.

Grilled meats, game, pasta with porcini mushrooms
