The Island of Hvar
Situated north of Korcula, this remote island is nevertheless a focus of the burgeoning luxury tourism industry of the Dalmatian coast, which has attracted international jet-setters with its pristine setting, Riviera sunshine, and gourmet lifestyle. The vineyards of Zlatan Plenkovic are situated on the south side of the island, where the precipitous slopes of 40 to 60° are accessed by Jeep on narrow, sandy lanes. The black Plavac Mali grape thrives in the rocky soil here, but native Dalmatian white grapes are also grown.

Tasting Notes
A blend of two native white grapes, Zlatan Hvar is bright lemon in color, with a serious, concentrated nose of grapefruit zest and citrus, overripe melon and almonds. It is dry, with fairly high acidity (great food wine!) and medium-full body. Melon, nectarine, citrus zest and mineral dominate the palate for a sophisticated take on an island white.

Varieties: Posip, Marastina
