Žlahtina Selection: Croatia's Coastal Jewel.
The Žlahtina Single Vineyard Selection by Ivan Katunar from the island of Krk is the premium white wine made from the local Žlahtina grape variety. Carefully handpicked Žlahtina grapes from the Mestinjak vineyard are aged for 12 months in oak barrels, resulting in a wine that captivates with its fruitiness, structure, and the uniqueness of Krk's terroir.
TASTING NOTES
In the glass, the Žlahtina Selection shines with a golden-yellow color, revealing aromas of citrus fruits, apple, apricot, grass, and vanilla.
On the palate we have a fresh acidity with medium alcohol. The flavours of citrus fruits are rounded by mineral notes and vanilla flavour from the oak ageing. With a medium body it is a perfect match for a light dish or sunny afternoon in the garden.
