Prović, Livija Zlatarica Winemaker's Selection, Neretva, Dalmatia, Croatia, 2020

The winemaker's selection for this special bottling of Zlatarica is a vineyard and barrel selection that spends one year in an acacia barrel. Reductive winemaking and spontaneous fermentation result in a concentrated, joyful wine. The aromatics of honeyed ginger and bright lemon peel hint at this wine's concentration. On the palate, rich lemon curd is lifted up by the mineral purity of crushed stone and a saline oyster shell finish.
