The bouquet that rises from the glass is a beautiful fusion of summer flowers, subtle citrus aromas and a hint of the salty sea air that floats over the vineyards.

    At the first sip, my taste buds are greeted with a refreshing crispness that reminds me of the fresh breeze blowing through the Korculan vineyards. The taste is a harmonious interplay of juicy peaches, ripe apricots and a hint of green apple. What really sets this wine apart is the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and refined minerality, resulting in a silky finish that caresses your taste buds.

    What fascinates me even more is how this Pošip reflects the character of Korčula – it is like a journey through the island itself. The wine seems to breathe with the history of the people who nurtured and nurtured the vines, and with the rich soil that nurtured the grapes. It is a tribute to the traditions and passion of Wijnhuis Blato, who have created a true art form with this creation.
