The stunning vineyard covered islands of South Croatia are the original home to California's Zinfandel! This wild but gentle red is made from 100% Plavac Mali (Pla-vatz Molly), Zinfandel's centuries old offspring. It is peppery with bright berry flavors and gentle dusty tannins. It's low alcohol and complexity make it unusually adept with a wide variety of food from salmon, to creamy cheeses, to spit fired lamb.
The name of the winery is actually Vinarjia Dingač it is a interesting sort of co-op in that it is owned by the farmers who sell their fruit to the winery. As a result Dingač is one of the highest quality large wineries in Croatia. The fruit is grown in the Zupa valley on the leeward side of the ocean facing Dingač cliff vineyards. Here the conditions are more moderate and consequently produces lighter simpler wines than those from Dingač proper. Fermented and aged in large oak tanks before filtration and bottling this is one of Croatia's greatest wines for everyday enjoyment. |
