Dalmacija Wine Expo, day 1
Dalmacija Wine Expo: first impressions & photos of this wine fair in Croatia.
Mountain Wine
Central heating and how it changes the perception of wine.
Mendek Plavac Sv. Jakov 2006
Another exciting wine from Croatia. Rethinking its commercial warhorse: jammy Shiraz-like Plavac Mali.
Duboković Moj Otok 2008
Reductive Loire Chenin Blanc, oxidised vin jaune from the Jura, and Indian curry. What’s that wine?
Clai Sv. Jakov 2009
Clai Sv. Jakov Malvazija 2009 – another stunning ‘alternative’ white wine from Croatia. Skin contact and limestone terroir give a wine of astounding depth of flavour.
Roxanich: incredible complexity
Roxanich: a very individual project and some incredibly good wines from Croatia’s Istria.
Bruno Trapan: rising star
I’m in Croatia again. Visiting Bruno Trapan, one of the country’s undisputed stars after just 5 vintages of making wine. His 2010 Malvazija is an electrifying bottle.
Exciting Croatia (5): best of the rest
In the last article of my series on Croatia, my best hits out of 200 tasted at the Zagreb Vino wine salon: Plavac and Babić from Dalmatia and a stunning skin-contact Malvazija from Istria.
Exciting Croatia (4): Plešivica
My next stop in Croatia: Plešivica, a cool inland hilly zone close to Zagreb, the Croatian capital. Very individual wines including one from amphora!
