SITE:
Although Pošip is a Dalmatian variety of white grapes par excellence, native to the island of Korcula, in the vineyard near Šibenik they have a different character. The vineyard itself was planted about ten years ago and looks south, while the vine was grown in extreme conditions on a meager limestone terroir (with less than 20% of the soil).
The locality as such gives excellent results with a more pronounced minerality compared to the classic Pošip from the island of Korcula.
