Kiridzija Plavac Mali 2020

Crafted by boutique winemaker Vedran Kiridžija on the sun-baked, steep slopes of the Pelješac Peninsula in Dalmatia, Croatia, this 2020 Plavac Mali highlights the robust, authentic terroir of the Adriatic coast. It presents rich, enticing aromas of dark plum, dried fig, black cherry, Mediterranean scrub (garrigue), and subtle leather, delivering a full-bodied, mouth-filling palate balanced by warm alcohol, firm tannins, and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Serve at room temperature; pairs brilliantly with roasted lamb, grilled venison, beef braised in red wine (Pašticada), octopus under the bell (Peka), and aged hard cheeses like Paški sir.
