C Chardonnay — The Elegance of Plešivica
in Barrique Style
On the southern slopes of Plešivica, where vines draw strength from limestone soils and cool night breezes,
our Chardonnay sur lie is born Chardonnay sur lie — a wine that marries terroir, patience and precision.
Made from carefully hand-harvested and selected grapes, it was fermented and aged for 12 months on fine lees
(sur lie) in barrique barrels of Croatian oak. This treatment gives the wine complexity, a creamy texture and subtle
woody nuances.
Aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, white flowers and vanilla weave together with soft notes of butter, almond and
a gentle smoke. The palate is full and rounded, mineral-driven and long-lasting, with an elegant freshness that carries the distinctive character of Plešivica.
