Tasting box: Sturdy Plavac wines

It's here, the Sturdy Plavac Box for everyone who likes robust, full-bodied red wines. In this box you get six full-bodied red wines, all made from the Plavac Mali grape. A unique gift for friends, family or just for yourself. Because you're Worth It.

This grape variety is an ancient brother of the Italian Primitivo and the Californian Zinfandel. All these grapes come from the native Croatian grape Crljenak Kaštelanski. Hardly any wine is made from this grape, but in Dalmatia people mainly make wine from the Plavac Mali.

Literally, Plavac Mali means 'Little Blue'. So they are very small grapes that have to work very hard to produce a little juice. Because they are very small grapes, they have a lot of skin and therefore a lot of tannin. In combination with the concentrated juice, this produces very robust robust wines.

This discount box contains six full Plavac Mali wines.
