Description
Varietals: 100% Rukatac (aka Maraština)
Appellation: Pelješac Peninsula, Dalmatia, Croatia
Alcohol: 11.5%
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. The wine was fermented in open vats with strictly native yeasts, with approximately 7 days of skin maceration. Aged for 4 months in stainless steel (inox) tanks and bottled after a coarse filtration.
Tasting Notes: Delightful golden color that pops in the glass. Fresh but with rustic, chalky, limestone-like tannins that radiate sunshine on your palate. A mineral-driven skin contact wine, with plenty of salinity, and a touch of viscous almond bitterness on the finish. Great with shellfish and fattier fish, but it goes surprisingly well with grilled or roasted pork or veal as well.
