ABOUT THIS WINE

The wine's distinctiveness arises from the interplay between the robust structure of Babić and the more accessible character of Plavina, reflecting the unique Mediterranean terroir of its origin.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Babic Plavina 2019 is produced through the blending of Babić and Plavina grape varieties. Key winemaking techniques likely include fermentation, where grape sugars are converted to alcohol, and potentially oak aging, particularly for the Plavina component, which can impart spice and texture. The specific harvest timing would be determined by grape ripeness to achieve a balanced wine. The producer's approach likely focuses on harmonizing the characteristics of these indigenous Dalmatian grapes.
