Fakin Istra Teran 2019

Crafted by Fakin Winery on the sunny, mineral-rich hillsides of Motovun in Istria, Croatia, this authentic Teran expresses the bold and robust character of the indigenous red grape. It opens with vibrant aromas of sour cherry, blackberry, forest floor, and black pepper, delivering a full-bodied, structured palate with lively natural acidity, firm tannins, and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Serve at room temperature; pairs magnificently with Istrian prosciutto (pršut), truffle dishes, rich beef stews, venison, venison goulash, and aged hard cheeses.

This Croatian Teran is dark garnet in color. It has aromas of bramble, charcuterie and smoked meats and flavors of tart cherry, cranberry and pomegranate. The tannins are grippy yet pleasant. Jeff Jenssen
