Chateau Mario Plavac Mali 2016

2016 Chateau Mario Plavac Mali
Alcohol: 15.5% SO2. : 15mg/lt Ph. : 3.8 2016 was superb year in regards to climatic conditions high led to perfect ripeness of the grapes. This wine is a blend of 90% Plavac Mali from top of the Dingač vine yard, average age of the wine is 80 years and 10% Chardonnay from Pelješac fermented together. No sulphur dioxide has been added before and during fermentation and minimum intervention is used hence the color of the wine is deeper which should be of no concern. Aged for two years in new French oak barrels this wine is full bodied with nose full of sweet spices and dark fruits and in the mouth is superbly harmonious with long lasting aftertaste. This wine needs to be decanted at least 1.5h before enjoying as it has been intentionally made in this style and served at 64.0 Fahrenheit. Best food match for this wine would be steak or venison. (Note that this wine is unfiltered, and one should be prepared for expected sedimentation – this does not affect the quality.)
