Stina Posip 2022

Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled.

The Stina winery takes its name from the pristine white stone which is so typical of the islands of Dalmatia. Founded in 2009 by local winemaker Jako Vino, the winery is set in a picturesque location in the former cooperative winery of the island of Brac right on the waterfront. Jako sources his grapes from prime plots on the southern slopes of the island and has built a cult following for his delicious interpretations of Dalmatia’s classic indigenous varieties like Plavac Mali and Posip.

This bottling is crafted from old vines in Korcula which is widely recognised as having the island’s finest microclimate. The vines are planted on steep slopes which must be worked manually and the grapes are carefully harvested by hand.

The nose opens with intoxicating scents of tropical fruit, sea salt ripe peaches and Mediterranean herbs while the first sip reveals a medium body with a bright streak of acidity providing a counterpoint to the ripe fruit flavours and juicy character. A great wine to pair with fresh fish, seafood or even sushi thanks to the vibrant profile, although it can also be cellared for another few years to add extra grace and elegance.
