ABOUT THIS WINE
Debit by Ante Sladić is a still white wine from the Skradin appellation in Dalmatia, Croatia, made exclusively from the indigenous Debit grape. The Sladić family, with a long winemaking tradition in Plastovo, is dedicated to preserving and promoting Croatia's native varietals. Their vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250-300 meters on limestone soils, benefiting from a microclimate influenced by the Krka River and the Adriatic Sea. This unique terroir contributes to the wine's distinctive minerality and freshness. The producer employs organic (non-certified) viticulture and classic stainless steel vinification to maintain the grape's pure expression. The 2025 vintage is anticipated to follow the established profile of this characterful Croatian white.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Debit by Ante Sladić is crafted using a classic approach focused on preserving the varietal's purity. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the wine's bright acidity and aromatic freshness. The wine is bottled unfiltered, further contributing to its natural character. This method emphasizes the direct expression of the Debit grape and the unique limestone terroir of the Skradin region. While some vintages may see extended lees aging, the typical style prioritizes immediate vibrancy and drinkability.
