Skaramuča Plavac Mali 2020

The Skaramuča Plavac wine is produced in the beautiful Dalmatian region of Croatia, an area renowned for its enchanting coastline and rich wine tradition. This exquisite product is crafted by Vina Skaramuča, a prominent winery that excels in local viticulture and has mastered the art of grape growing to perfection. Skaramuča Plavac wine is extracted from the Plavac Mali grape, an indigenous variety that means "Little Blue" due to its small, deep blue grapes with thick skins and high tannin content. This wine embodies a fruity style of Plavac, with exclusive fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This method ensures the complete preservation of the authentic flavor of the Plavac Mali grapes, free from any wood influences. The alcohol content of this wine is 13%.    

The Skaramuča Plavac wine exhibits a deep ruby red color with a dark blue gleam. The bouquet offers a refined blend of sweet notes of dried or baked fruit, subtle aromas of cherries, vanilla, coffee, and a hint of Dalmatian herbs. On the palate, this wine presents a powerful tasting experience with ripe nuances of cherries and plums, a touch of pepper, and pronounced tannins. This unique bouquet makes the wine memorable and distinctive. Due to its versatility, Skaramuča Plavac is an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, particularly hearty seafood dishes such as crab and baked fish. It also pairs well with grilled dishes, meat, game, and cheese. For an optimal experience, the Skaramuča Plavac should be served at around 18°C, allowing the complex aromas and flavors to fully unfold.

The Skaramuča winery was a pioneer in the independent production of wine in the Dalmatian wine region of Croatia, following national independence. The vineyards are located on the steep southern slopes of the Pelješac Peninsula, in the continental part. These slopes have an incline of 25 to 30 percent, allowing the vines to grow freely over the rocky soil without support. The yield per hectare is only three tons, and the harvest is done entirely by hand due to the inaccessibility of the terrain for mechanization.
