This tradition, which has been held for centuries, marks not only the end of one cycle, but also the beginning of a new one, full of hope and expectation.
Vineyards of Poljica and Sveta Nedilja
This year, vineyards in Poljica and Sveta Nedilja proved to be extremely fruitful. Many winegrowers have worked with love throughout the year, preparing their vines for this important season. The month of September, with ideal weather conditions, allowed the grapes to reach optimal maturity.
Harvest Varieties
During the harvest, we focused on three autochthonous varieties: Bogdanuša, Plavac Mali and Pošip.
Bogdanuša: This white variety, known for its freshness and fruity notes, is a dam with special care. Its maturity brings characteristic aromas of citrus and flowers, which will manifest themselves in future wines.
Plavac Mali: The king of Hvar’s red wines, Plavac Mali, was collected from the steep slopes, where the sun shone in full force. This variety brings strong tannins and rich flavors, perfect for aging and creating top quality wines.
Pošip: This white variety, which also occupies a special place among Hvar wines, is a dam at an ideal moment, providing complexity and aromatics that will enrich any wine.
