Region: West Herzegovina, Bosnia & Herzegovina Grape(s): Žilavka Drinks Best: Now
This skin contact Žilavka comes to us from the south-western part of Bosnia & Herzegovina about an hour drive from the Croatian coastline. Since 2005, the Skegro family has been organically cultivating their terraced vineyards along with fig, citrus, and olive trees which offers biodiversity and helps protect the rocky soils from erosion. After 15 to 20 days of skin contact maceration, this wine has a beautiful, glowing amber color. Fragrant aromas of candied orange peel, sweet cantaloupe, honeysuckle, and ripe peach while the light-bodied, dry palate tastes of pineapple and lychee with a white pepper spice on the finish.
