Saints Hills 'Black Dalmation' 2021, Dalmatia, Croatia

TASTING NOTES

Plavac Mali is a grape most commonly found on the steep, sun-drenched vineyards along the Dalmatian coast. Low yield vines, very steep terrain, triple insolation (sun, sea, and stone), and quartz rich soil, combined with cooling sea breezes create the perfect Dalmatian micro-climate for Croatia's indigenous varietals. This full bodied red features ripe dark forest fruits like blackberry, plum, fig and cherry alongside Mediterranean herbs with earthy, spicy nuances and pleasant tannin. It would be a great choice with hamburgers, veggie chili or beef stew.
