Why Croatian Soil, Land, and the Infamous Grape ~ Plavac Mali?

Croatian’s Korta Katarina Vineyard Manager and Winemaker share a moment with Sommelier Leslee Miller

This week while on a trip to Croatia, Sommelier Leslee Miller, had a chance to catch up with Vineyard Manager Arsen and Winemaker Nika from winery Korta Katarina on their actual vineyard site in the Peljesac Peninsula. Two regions which are famous for growing the red grape Plavac Mali on this peninsula are the:  Postup and the Dingac.
This video taken from the Postup region shows the winery’s newly planted vines.
Discussion here explains why the Plavac Mali grape loves this soil, what is the soil like, what about the angle of the vineyard makes it special and what is Plavac Mali as a grape.
One of many videos taped along this project, Minneapolis Sommelier Leslee Miller gives you history behind the Croatian wine industry and more.
