Rizman, Nonno, Komarna, Dalmatia, Croatia, 2022

A distinctive take on Pošip the Nonno is made using 500-litre oak barrels for 2/3 of the production while the rest is fermented in concrete. The fruit for this wine comes from a select block on the easternmost edge of the Rizman estate and is blended with 15% Chardonnay. Eight months sur lie with plenty of battonage allow this wine to flash a serious texture and complexity. Elegant and subtle notes of clover honey and honeysuckle with a tingle of cut green apple. The palate shows brilliance; seaspray minerality cuts through the creamy lemon curd and ripe pear. This wine really shows Pošip in an international light.
