Have you ever tasted Croatian wine before? 🇭🇷 ​ ​ Adjoint to Adriatic Sea, Croatia is not only one of the Europe’s most popular vacation destinations but has been producing wine for more than 2,500 years. It’s also home to hundreds of native varieties, like Pošip and Tribidrag.​ ​ Pošip, often confused with Furmit, is an indigenous white grape variety originates from the Croatian island of Korčula off the Dalmatian coast. ​ ​ This 2019 Rizman Pošip is made predominately from Pošip with up to 5 % of Viognier. The wine displays beautiful light gold color with enchanting aromas of honeysuckles, Meyer lemon, ripe yellow peach, and cantaloupe. Round mouthfeel with high acidity, it shows notes of yeast, hazelnut and butterscotch on the palate. I can’t put my wine glass down but keep sipping. So seductive. ​ ​ Tribidrag is the original and oldest Croatian name for the grape variety from central Dalmacija and is known better today as Primitivo and Zinfandel. ​ ​ Composed of 85% Tribidrag and 15 % Temproanillo from their estate vineyards, this 2016 Rizman Tribidrag has charming aromas of violets, all spice, clove, cedar, straw, tabbaco with assorted red, black and blue fruits overflows out of the glass. The wine is dry, earthy, savory with firm structure and lifted acidity. I taste the soul of Trbidrag in this wine. ​ ​ About Rizman Winery:​ The winegrowing history of the Štimac family started when Mihovil Mijo Popich, aka Rizman by his nick name started to grow vines in Opuzen in the early 20th century. In 2006, Rizman Winery started a new establishment in the Komarna, the newest appellation in southern Dalmatia of Croatia, and covers 22 hectares with organic practice.
