2019 Zlatan Plavac Hvar

100% Plavac Mali ABV: 14% Tasting Notes: A premium red wine from Zlatan Plenković! The wine is dark ruby in color, with a rich and layered, pleasant, and deep aroma that has undertones of Dalmatian herbs, spices, minerality, saltiness, dark fruit, and a touch of hay. Warm and comforting on the nose, it possesses a refined, complex, and an exceptional presence on the palate that is followed by a long and persistent finish. Serve slightly chilled at cellar temperature (approx. 18° C) with spicy appetizers, bruschetta, tomato sauces, stews, red meat roasts, wild fowl, venison, roasted lamb and potatoes with rosemary and Dalmatian herbs, cured meats, hard and aged cheeses, grilled steak meats, burgers, and grilled blue fish.
