You don't see a lot of Croatian wine in our crowded market - but with value gems like this, I expect that may change.

On the nose, bruised apple, lemon curd, acacia, hint of vanilla.

Apple and woodsy notes on the palate, gooseberry and yellow raspberry chutney, viscous mouthfeel. Fair amount of structure, nice acidity. Bitter almond and saline finish. (Ideal with food - French onion soup or goat cheese salad with lardons comes to mind.)

Great value.
