An elegant and floral take on Crljenak, or Zinfandel as we know it, beyond these Adriatic shores. With beautiful wild herbs and light and dark purple florals marked by lavender and violet, this wine commands your attention in its sheer delicacy of approach. The palate brims with fresh, crunchy wild mountain herbs and dollops of fresh bramble fruits, both red and black, showing depth and ripeness across the finish with a savoury flourish at the end.
