The grapes come from the Smokvice vineyards, from selected locations that are traditionally considered the best for this variety. All vines are older than 40 years and the yield on them is small.
Pošip is a true Dalmatian variety of white grapes that was originally discovered by a local farmer 150 years ago in the village of Smokvica where the winery is located. Black Island Winery produces multiple lines, while the Merga Victa line is special.
In Smokvica itself, there are about two hundred vineyards located between 40 and 160 meters above sea level. The vines are at least 15 years old, and the selected grapes come with three different types of soil (red soil, sand and rocky) to achieve the right balance and harmony of wine. Sugar content 3.5 gr/l, acid 6.9 gr/l.
