Notes & Pairings
If you travel around Korčula drinking Pošip at every opportunity (we have), there’s a big range of styles. That said, the vast majority are made reductively, whole cluster pressed, fermented at low temperatures to harness the aromatics, and overall kept really fresh and bright. These wines are delicious and unique to be sure, but we’ve never encountered a Pošip like this to date, more punchdowns and more extraction to balance out the acidity. Macerated for 3 days on the skins, everything was basket pressed into stainless steel and aged for 1 year on the lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered by hand from tank. A vintage with a nice "Žutina" (aka amber/yellowness) and with the added bottle aging, it is in an absolutely beautiful place.
